Hydrogen peroxide for cleaning?

[simpledragon]

Hi. I've been looking around and can't find anything about whether or not cleaning my beardies cage with hydrogen peroxide would be good, bad, or just ok. I do know that after a period of time, the extra oxygen atom in it leaves, and just plain water is left. Is there a reason I shouldn't use it to spot clean?

Hydrogen Peroxide would probably be OK if it's in a high enough concentration. I like using a combination of water and vinegar to spot clean and get the crusty bits loose. Once everything has been wiped clean with that I use either a steam cleaner or F10SC for disinfecting. A small steam cleaner costs about $50 but just uses water so it's a one time cost (electricity and water costs aside). F10SC works really well for disinfecting and it comes in a highly concentrated bottle so a little goes along way making it pretty cost effective as well.

Hydrogen Peroxide breaks down into water and pure oxygen. no worry about it, however it may leave a funky smell if you use alot of it.
