Wipe out???

[pet_snake_78]

If you're disinfecting a cage because of a specific exposure, then different solutions would be required as no one disinfectant kills all viruses, bacterial, or parasites. Each disinfectant has pros and cons and things it works for and things it does not. If you're removing feces/urates/uneaten food items promptly from known clean animals, all you really need is soap and water to remove germs. chlorhexidine should be safe as a general purpose disinfectant, I've used it mainly with water bowls.

Well f10 and Cavicide both are used in veterinary and medical clinics respectively. Mainly bc both have a wide bacteriocidal and virucidal and fungicidal properties. They are both expensive but worth it. You really do need more than soap and water though.
