cleaning questions.

[lucky8926]

I just got my setup for my future BP. The tank is kind of dusty what should I use to clean it out with. I don't want to use anything that might be harmful to my bp once he gets in there. Also I know I should wash my hands before and after handling. Is there any special soap I should use or will any anti-bacterial soap work?

Regular dishsoap works fine. Antibacterial soap isn't really necessary for most applications, as regular dishoap already has germ-killing power. Vinegar is my all-time favourite glass cleaner, and is great at killing germs. It takes off water scale with no effort at all. I use peroxide as a general cleaning agent in all my enclosures (wood or plastic), however I wouldn't recommend using it on glass if you want to avoid streaks.
