    What do you use to clean?

    What do you use for an all-purpose cleaner for your tanks? I need to clean our 20 gallon for our new baby (it had rats in it) so we can move it over soon.

    In this case I would use a 10% blaech to water solution and scrub it well and Rinse well.
    Normal cleaning I like Chlohex too, but have a hard time finding it. Any tips?

    Re: What do you use to clean?

    I use Chlorhexidine solution or listerine. I worked at columbus serum company and was able to get gallons of chlorhexdine for about 5 dollars for a case of gallons. But sadly webster veterinary and patterson dental bought us out and shut us down last month so now I get it from our local feed and seed store

    Re: What do you use to clean?

    I clean everything (snakes and rodents) with dish soap and hot water first, then 10% bleach solution, then rinse.

    I use that for most of my cleaning to but when I really want to zap something good I use "simple green d PRO 3" you can get it at Home Depot and it kills, viruses, bacteria, molds and is great at removing odors. make sure you rinse it real good cause it is strong
