    Disinfectant for racks and tubs

    Just wondering what others use to disinfect and clean their tubs and racks. I currently have my snakes in 41 q sterolite tubs in a homemade xpvc rack. Just wondering what others use to clean similar set ups.

    Re: Disinfectant for racks and tubs

    I use Dawn dishwashing liquid diluted to 5:1 solution concentration. From the "Healthykin" website I order a f10 generic antituberculocidal, virucidal, bacteriocidal and fungicidal spray called Cavicide.
    Stay in peace and not pieces.

    I use this for routine cleaning of tubs and snake room surfaces http://www.amazon.com/Chlorhexidine-...=chlorhexidine

    Tubs also get bleached once or twice a year.

    Green Works and Simple Green are two different things. Green Works is an all purpose cleaner that's less toxic and more environmentally conscious.

    F10SC for everyday disinfecting after cleaning.

    Straight ammonia which sits for 24 hours for disinfecting any used enclosures I purchase since chlorine bleaches, oxygen bleaches, F10, and chlorhexidine don't kill cryptosporidium.

    Re: Disinfectant for racks and tubs

    Where can someone purchase f10sc? And do you use this for every cleaning? I am a little anal and clean the entire rack twice a week even if not needed. Gives me am excuse to get away with my oldest daughter and talk as we clean and handle the pets.

    +1 I use the exact same stuff. It has a short life after mixed with water so I only make about a week's worth at a time. You can get the f10 from reptile basics
