Cleaning reptile carpet

[leogecko88]

What is the best method of cleaning reptile carpet? I need to clean mine and am not sure how to do it.

Throw it in the washing machine on gentle wash. Don't put it in the dryer, just let it air dry.

If I put it in the washing machine, would I wash with water only? Would I use the cool water setting?

Yeah, I would use cool water, and it's okay to use laundry detergent, as long as it's all rinsed out well. If you have some oxiclean (ya know, the kind that billy mays used to sell on tv) you can throw that in there and it usually does the trick. Just like your usual laundry, just a really small load, and in cold water.

Thanks! I will try it and see how it goes.

I usually throw mine in the shower and hose it off in there.

i use a spray bottle and soak it in a 1:15-20 bleach solution, wait five mins, then rinse with water, dry with a towel/air dry. sometimes i use a product called wipe out, sold in pet stores.

I put it in the washer and it came out looking good and clean.

I also use washing machine; just with lesser amount of washing powder.

Washer here also with a very small amount of detergent on the gentle cycle. Then I put it thru 2 more cycles for the rinse. Hang dry, works well.

I soak and scrub with stiff brush, I got tired of it so Now I use paper towels, also try a litter box, in the poop area. I got my big group 1.4 in a 40 breeder all pooping in a med corner water dish filled with sand. There are a few slight misses here and there but most of the tank is spotless all of the time.

I scrub mine down then throw them in the dryer for 10 mins, then steach them back out.
