Lysol Wipes for Cleaning?

This may be a stupid question but is there any difference between the stuff sold by reptile basics and this: http://amzn.com/B0040V1RES ? or this: http://amzn.com/B00061MU9W ?

Why not just chlorohexidine? Cheap, works great, and safe for your animals. I clean up right after messes and never needed to scrub with anything except paper towels.

This is what I use and it works great for me......

The Clorox wipes I have gotten are not bleach. They are ammonium chloride, alcohol, and have all kinds of other fillers and fragrances. I don't trust them for cleaning any of my animal cages.

There is the ingredient list for you. Personally, I use Dawn and hot water, or if it gets really disgusting diluted bleach. Obviously, the choice is up to you, but I wouldn't put them near a cage.

Hey I just cleaned my bp today and thats what I used because I ran out of bleach and thats all I had. Its a nice day so i scrubbed everything down then rinsed in in hot water and set it on the porch to dry. Everything seems fine, no smell or anything. I would say yeah go ahead but not all the time.

Let me put in yet another plug for Natural Chemistry Healthy Habitat. All natural....I buy a gallon and for my small collection it lasts a long time. I spray it on, then by the time I get the papertowels to wipe it up, it has dissolved the poop...no scrubbing. It is well worth the money. I get mine from RBI.

I use it too, but the problem is that it is really just a cleaner and deodorizer. I don't think that it disinfects anything. I'm wondering if something like F10SC or chlorohex could be mixed/diluted with it and turn it into an all-in-one deodorizer/disinfectant that can be used as needed without rinsing.

Doing my monthly/bi-monthly disinfecting with bleach water takes forever with all of the soaking, rinsing, and drying that has to occur before PAM can be applied.


Sigh. I just read the description for chlorohex and saw that there is no need to rinse/dry. I've wasted SO much time over the past few months with bleach and I am so pissed off right now... lol. Now I just need to find out if I can mix the stuff in with Healthy Habitat.
