I've seen a couple of people say they will clean their tank with a diluted vinegar/water mixture and 1/10th bleach mixture, but I was wondering are there any soaps out there that anyone recommends, especially for cleaning out kritter keepers and food dishes? I'm a pretty clean person and I just can't bring myself to believe a vinegar and water mix will clean out that nasty kritter keeper with all the cricket poop in it. ? Thanks!
I use about a 50/50(ish) vinegar and water mixture in a spray bottle. The vinegar does a really nice job of loosening up solid bits (cricket poop in this case) if you let it sit for a few min. Then wipe it down with paper towel to get it clean and once the surface is clean you can use a steam cleaner or spray some F10 to sanitize it. If you want to use a soap I'd use a mild dish soap or unscented natural soap like dr bronner's baby mild (which is what I use in baths when my dragon gets dirty).
