sinks filled with white vinegar that I buy (cheaper) by the gallon in grocery stores. It's good for many other things (sink, shower and toilet). *Dump out the water, let
bowls sit a few minutes w/ the vinegar...about 2 T. to scrub with, then rinse. It also rinses much easier than soaps/detergents do.
Thanks for the replies! Yes I do rinse them off very thoroughly and no the soap is not for "smell good stuff", it's just the flavour of dish soap I have on hand right now. Glad to hear it won't hurt as long as it's washed off, I was worried for a second seeing that citrus is toxic to snakes. Thank you for the tip on using vinegar to clean bowls as well. I'm currently using white vinegar mixed with water when I spot clean my BP's enclosure.
