    Cleaning tubs???

    What do you use to clean your tubs out with?

    I have been using a foamy window/all purpose cleaner. Should I use somthing with a disinfectant?

    I wipe down each tub with those Germ-X wipes every time I clean.

    Re: Cleaning tubs???

    I use chlorhexidine to spot clean.

    Then a 1:10 bleach to water mixture once a month.

    Re: Cleaning tubs???

    To disinfect with alcohol, it would have to have surface contact for over 30 minutes. Just an FYI.

    I personally use chlorhexidine or parvosol/parv-o-way(virucidal/bacteriocidal/fungicidal) to disinfect. To clean, the tub gets put into the bathtub and washed with Dawn or Palmolive. Cleaning and disinfecting are two different things. You can't make dirt clean

    And window cleaner isn't a disinfectant or anything of the sort.

    www.valleyvet.com for a gallon of chlorhexidine gluconate concentrate.

    Alcohol and hot water work just fine.

    Re: Cleaning tubs???

    Quat Plus TB. I bought a case for around 40 or 50. It works great. I use it for my snake and rat tubs. Just make sure it is dry before putting them back in. Hope this helps...
