What cleaner do you use?

So after years of different cleaning products I still haven't decided what I like. I was wondering if I was missing something. Here's my pros cons
Bleach
Pros Generally pretty effective
Cons Smells, Stains acryllic, wait time afterward, doesn't kill coccidia

Ammonia
Pros Kills what the rest don't (EG cryptosporidia)
Cons Arguably even more harmful than bleach

Antiseptics (Betadine, Povidone iodine, chlorhexidine)
Pros Kills organisms that bleach doesnt, stains acryllic, is absorbed easily into plastic or wood
Cons expensive(I steal mine from work), doesn't eliminate smell,

SteAm
Pros- Great for coccidia and mites,
Cons Doesn't smell but also doesn't eliminate smell all that well, can melt plastic and acryllic

Specific reptile cleaners
Pros Generally the safest (besides steam),
Cons Seems that the most effective ones aren't too easy to come by, really expensive

Mixture of any with soap-
Some of the above are less effective when mixed with dish soap
