Advice in Cleaning large tanks 40 gallons +

[Lorenzo24]

Hello everyone, I just recently bought my beardy a 40 gallon breeder tank from my local pet store. I didn't realize those things weigh a pretty good amount. What are some good methods to clean/sanitize/disinfect the tank without having to carry it around?

I spray it with vinegar and then wipe it clean. Once it's clean I spray it with F10 disinfectant and then wipe it clean after about 10 minutes of contact time.

I usually put a garbage can near the tank when I'm cleaning so if I need to throw out paper towels or well-used sponges I don't have to run to the nearest garbage and hope nothing falls on the floor. If you use tiles as a substrate, I'd also suggest placing towels down on either the floor or a nearby table, that way you have somewhere to place them to dry after they've been cleaned.
