Cleaning

[Abigailluvsgeckos]

What does everyone use to disinfect when cleaning?

 

[ARiES]

you could use 1 part clorox or however u speall it and 9 parts water, or if u want to keep it simple, water the inside of the tank a little bit and rubb it down with those disinfecting whipes then wait till it drys and WALA!! lol

I use vinegar and water in a spray bottle, then plain water. I keep the geckos out until the smell is gone. It only takes a couple of minutes and is non-toxic.

Would you use the vinegar and water then water for a water dish also?

 

[Alliemac]

No, I wash the food and water dishes every other day with a little dishsoap.

 

[GeckoNub]

I use Beaphar Bea Clean. Its a disinfectant spray.

I like it cos it gets nice and soapy when cleaning bowls and stuff but for inside the viv i just squirt and wipe it with kitchen paper and it doesnt need rinsing.

It smells ok too and my geckos seem to like it when its all clean and nice

 

[STUTFL]

No, I wash the food and water dishes every other day with a little dishsoap.

I had to take a toothbrush to the water dish when I got STUTFL - there was algae all over it :main_rolleyes: How long does it have to sit before it starts growing stuff, anyhow?!

[Condaman74]

For cages I use Chlorhexidine. For water bowls I used god old fashion soap and water.

For cages I use Chlorhexidine. For water bowls I used god old fashion soap and water.

I use Chlorhexidine as well. I use it on everything. If they pooped in their bowls or something I scrub it with antimicrobial soap then rinse it in hot water and spray a bit of Chlorhexidine on it for good measure
