Good morning everyone!
I wanted to ask your opinions about disinfecting cages/equipment with f10 and or bleach. I've used chlorahexidine in the past but never understood it to be a replacement for bleach to kill everything. Last week I bought some f10 and understand that it is supposed to be a full spectrum killer. Ive always used hot soapy water to remove excess dirt and waste before I use any of the above.
I bought 2 used vision cages from snakes of sunset a few days ago though had obviously not been cleaned before I got them. There was caked on urates and other dirt all over them. I scrubbed them with a brush and hot soapy water to remove what I could, then I used 10:1 Water/Bleach and let them soak and rinsed them. Finally I used f10 to spray the entire surface and let them dry.
My question is that could I have skipped the bleach as the f10 is supposed to kill everything and has a much less foul odor and harsh effect or is it safed to always use bleach? It would be a lot easier to spot clean and clean without the bleach, especially as you can let it dry and its not toxic to my animals.
