Heya
I use ''Beaphar'' Reptile Disinfectant. It does the job.
You can also use a mix of mouthwash and water and spray down the viv with it as it leaves a nice smell. And then rinse dry and it's good to go!
Just read the back of the different products available to you in your pethsop. I get mine online.

f10 is the best stuff to use

if you are cleaning out your vivariums every two weeks or so - you a solution made of 1 part mouthwash to 3 parts water in a spray bottle, keeps it clean and eliminates bad smells


another option is a solution made of 1 part bleach to 10 parts water, and give it a really good rinse afterward - I don't like this method, but its a good way of sterilizing a 2nd hand vivarium.

I use Vinegar mixed with water, best cleaning agent going, wipe down and clean off with a clean damp cloth and it does the jop

I use 5% thin bleach solution (the cheapest stuff) from tesco, make sure you rinse well.

as said above use 5 or 10% bleach and rinse well

I second the F10.

Info on various uses other than simply disinfecting. Great for so many things. Should be in every keeper's kit.
