Bleach works great but does require a lot of rinsing and air time to get ride of the smell. I used bleach for almost a year for my cleaning then switched to F10 and well I love it. Cleans a lot easier than bleach no smell and the little bottle will last you forever. I use it in a 1000ml bottle and add 4ml of solution so a little goes a long way I have been using it for a month or so and have had no ill affects on rats or snakes and it makes everything smell much better in my opnion. Reptile Basics and Bean Farm carry it or I have always seen it at the expo's.
