How to clean your Ball Python tank 101 quick video by me :)

You do realize that you failed to follow the instructions for wipe out (and all disinfectant I am aware of?) You must CLEAN before disinfecting, bleach included. Wash with soap and water first then bleach rinse ect. Just bleach and wipe out are not enough clean first.

Mis using disinfectants are the same as mis using antibiotics. They generate super resistant, bacteria, virus ect. and render disinfectant useless. It is the same as not feeling well and popping a few antibiotic pill just because. It is a bad idea.

From the wipe out label.

Most have the same thing in common surfaces must be pre cleaned.

To recap all this, Clean with soap and water before bleach? Being in RN school and having an understanding of antibiotics and different disinfectants I am gonna have to agree to disagree since you compare the two. This is because antibiotics work in a very different way to bleach. Bleach will kill pretty much everything and is so utterly destructive nothing lives, but antibiotics work in a much more subtle way. Most antibiotics work by targeting specific proteins, such as ones in the cell wall, or those that help make other proteins. There is a big difference between Antibiotics and Disinfectants & Antiseptics. I also state to leave the bleach for a certain amount of minutes to kill everything. I appreciate the input and will look more into the other cleaner. Like I said with the wipe-out I explained when I use it. I could have went into more detail though.
