Does anyone know how much dawn antibacterial soap is needed per gallon of water? I'm planing on using it to clean my bearded dragon decor and rocks..etc!

You probably wouldn't need much. Just enough to provide some suds and become slippery. That said, I suggest cleaning with vinegar and warm water instead. That will get most of the stuck bits off and you can then disinfect using a steam cleaner or some F10SC which is a safe veterinary disinfectant.

Thanks Cooper, I def have a steamer that came with my shark vacuum cleaner. This should be great...

The regular dawn dish soap may be fine for cleaning off stuck on bits and food bowls too. I would avoid antibacterial soap due to the triclosan which is now banned in a lot of soap. That was the cause of my hesitation. Regular soap shouldn't be harmful at all if rinsed well. Rely on your steam cleaner for disinfecting just about everything. The one I use is a shark as well and it's nice.

Thanks for the new information Cooper...

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
