It's really confusing on how to disinfect and thoroughly clean out my cages (both my mice tubs and snake tubs/tanks) there are so many conflicting views out there. I have 3 options, which do you guys think I should use?

First, 10% Bleach or soap solution. Would any clothes washing bleach do? Would a disinfectant (like those for mopping floors) work as well or are they more harmful? I've heard about not using anything that foams up the water when added, but everything seems to do this. So which is good to use? If I do this, I'd most likely make a couple of gallons of this solution and splash it around pour it over the tubs and get it all over every surface, then hose everything down well, wipe dry, leave to airdry completely.

Second, using 50/50 vinegar and water. Sounds good, but this really runs through loads of vinegar very quickly. And the smells funky. I'd probably make a small amount, get a cloth and wipe down every surface. Then whatever I have left at the end try to splash it around to ensure every surface is covered as well. Hose down, wipe and airdry.

Third, just hot water. I'm not too comfortable with this, because I dont think hot water would do much good unless its boiling hot, and even so it should be in boiling hot water for a few minutes at least (so pouring over wont work). and I dont feel safe using boiling hot water on plastic tubs and glass panels.. not to mention I have no idea how to get an entire tub soaking in boiling water.

Of course my last option would be to get those reptile-safe commercial products but they are pricey and I'd have to ship them in. But i'm sure there are better, simpler ways that all of you use.
