Chlorhexadine is much more friendly and I use that to clean water bowls too and even to spot clean inside the cage. Getting a little on the substrate doesn't hurt as if you dilute it down like the directions say, you can use it as an oral rinse as well. Some people say the fumes have actually cured very light cases of RI but I'm not sure I believe that. Regardless though, its my go to cleaner and hand rinse. For mites look for Natural Chemistry Reptile Spray. I have never had to deal with mites but a lot of people on here have praised that Natural Chemistry stuff. I always knew about PAM.
