Cleaners
I was ready to switch cleaners, then last minute went ahead and got the same cleaner I had been using. However I have used others in the past and thought I would inquire to what everyone else prefers for their balls in racks, as well as share my current preference.
Right now I use a diluted Chlorhexidine Gluconate 2% solution (brand name Virosan). I used to use one that I cannot remember cause it was give to me, and Rocal D.
Ultimately I think I like the Virosan better and feel it is safer, so that's my input.
What's yous?

I use Chlorhexidine or F10 vet disenfectant. Both work great and hsven't caused any issues with my snakes.

Re: Cleaners
I use Chlorohexidine a lot but for real disinfecting I use
Simple Green D Pro 3

This is hospital grade stuff that kills all molds, bacteria and viruses and smells good. Comes concentrated so it goes a long way, I get it in Home Depot. Make sure you rinse thoroughly. I use this for all my major tub and bowl cleaning and quaarantines.

I use chlorhexidine for the tubs. Water bowls are sprayed with 10% bleach, allowed to sit, then rinsed very well, twice.

wow, I was expecting more variety, but seems everyone is on the same page as each other, lol.
I have used bleach, but strayed away except when really needed.

I have seen people use bird poop cleaners, but have not tried myself. However, I have contemplated it. If you find more information, would be useful since I know of a couple products that would be great, but don't know how safe any of them are for snakes. One which I have seen is supposed to be 'natural and safe' is called Poop-Off, but again, have not tried myself.

I forgot to mention that I put my ceramic water bowels in the dishwasher set to high temp/sanitize without any detergent. I do this once a month.
