Cleaning decor every week

[HoleeJuanCanoli]

Hey I was just curious as to what others use to clean and sanitize their enlcosures?

I usually remove all decor from the tank and scrub them clean in hot water and antibacterial hand soap.

What do y'all do when it comes to actually sanitizing the tank and what is your process? Do you use bleach? And if so, how much bleach do you use in your solution? And how often should you perform a 'deep clean' of the tank as well as decor?


Many thanks!

You can use watered down vinegar to clean your cage or you can use a 10% bleach solution. Just make sure all the fumes are gone before you put your beardie back in.

I use baking soda and some water (occasionally some lemon if I have some) to clean out my beardies decor. Or just some hot water on the objects that don't need as much sterilisation. I personally like to stray away from soaps, bleaches and any cleaning products as Krumpli loves to lick everything so I just want to be extra safe making sure he isn't going to poison himself. Honestly I don't think bleach is very safe but if it works for others that's fine. Cucumber also works really well to remove any odour, I really notice the difference when I give some to Krumpli in his salad.
