Post Best Disinfectant or Cleaner for a glass vivarium?

Hi

I am looking for a good reptile disinfectant or cleaner to use in the glass vivarium we have, which is the best one to go for or is there a good range to look at?

Thanks a lot.

Hi

Thanks for the info about F10, it looks excellent stuff and kills a lot of bugs, also I worked out that a 100ml bottle of the concentrated stuff would do 50 litres, which means its very good value for money. Is the link you showed the best place to buy it from, cos I've seen it on Ebay too?

Cheers.

i buy it from there because i trust that source and dont find the price a problem..
personally, im not a great lover of ebay but i guess its worth a try if you can get it cheaper there and trust the source that it is whats written on the bottle etc..

Well buying it from where you trust it is a good idea.

So I think I will buy it from the place you suggested. Just out of interest though, what is the price of delivery?

Thank

Garlands falconry also sells some F10 things (And are the main, if not the only, importers of it) inc. the wipes, disinfectant, shampoo and barrier ointment. They are in Staffordshire (between Tamworth and BurtonOT). Shropshire Exotics also sells it.

Default disinfectant

Hi
Vetaclean solution is my trusted biocide for my racks, dilutes to make 75 litres, costs about £7. Continues to work in between cleans etc.Check out the full spec online. Well worth the money I think.
Available online via many outlets or get your local Rep shop to order if not already sold there.
Hope this helps
