Alternative cleaners than BLEACH?

cleaning

Unless your corns are sick or have mites there is no reason to use anything but a mild dish soap,and to make sure things are cleaned well use the hottest water out of your tap to rinse it in

That's true if you use the same tub for the same snake.

But if you swap tubs, if you don't use a product that has some type of sanitizer, you're risking cross-contamination.

By the time one snake shows symptoms of an illness, you have prolly cleaned his tub, and swapped it with another. Now that tub with a potential pathogen is in your stack of clean tubs. I'm not risking it.

I just bought 2 small bottles of it off EBAY, gonna give it a try.
Too bad it's so hard to get here.
 
Anyone in the US interested in becoming a distributor of F10? I can be your client. :)

REALLY? That sounds like what I am going to do. So about 20% water, the rest vinegar, and you spray and wipe. that's it? No rinsing?

Other way round, that works out at 20% vinegar, 80% water. I've never tried using vinegar though so can't recommend or not recommend it. A 10% bleach solution has always worked well for me.

Can't wait to try this F10 though! It's really quite inexpensive for something so reptile-safe and because it lasts for ages it will be more than worth it. :D
 
Ya I meant that sorry. I have a heavy tank, so I need to do my monthly cleaning without having to rinse...And since vinegar is dirt cheap, i'll try it. But I want to know if it will clean enough to keep my snake tank fresh and safe.
 
All I know is I've been using it sense I got my corn and he is just over a year old. It works for me and he is really healthy. I have been trying to figure out how to up load some pictures of him on the photo gallery but have'nt figured it out yet. If you try it let me know how you like it.

Didn't your mother ever tell you not to Swear??


I personally use Bleach and water mix for clean up at my place.
i had 1 part Bleach to 10 parts water.

Another item you can use is Oxyclean. I would use it for fish tanks back in the day.
