I had repti carpet and now I fitted some tile over it. I can't cut the tile so I just have 3 12X12 pieces. I guess I am lucky because my beardie always poops on his plastic rock cave so all I have to do is wash that. :lol:

We have tile as well so daily clean up are easy. For a full tank clean up I remove the tile and the paper towels I have underneath. I vacuum all the little pieces of shed out and wipe down with a wash cloth. I will also use glass cleaner on any prints. My oldest son (10 yo) will wash the tiles, food bowls, plus any washable furnature in hot soapy water, dry them. Everything then goes back in. We just got fake greenery and I'm unsure how I'll clean those.

For a full clean up I either use soap and water, or an organic cleaner that I have (apparently you can consume it without dying lol), and I just dialute it and let it air out before I put the beardie back in. For small clean ups I use good ol' baby wipes

I love having tile! Clean up is so much easier!

I bought a roll of non-adhesive shelf liner. Buttercup always poops in her bath, so I just vacuum up loose shed with a dust buster about once a week. I have to check under the shelf liner for escapee worms but other than that I have no probs. When she first got here and she was not "potty trained", I would wipe her shelf liner up with a baby wipe where she pottied. I still have almost the entire roll left. If she did not take to the potty training I would have just replace the shelf liner once and month and been done with it. Yeah for shelf liner!

Thanks for the ideas, i use healthy habitat cleaner. he poops daily in the bath, so i don't really have to clean poop out of the viv, but ifhe doesgo in the viv iuse baby wipes to clean it. do i need to "bake" the bark he basks on?
