Have only had Ruby in her Faun a few days still but was just interested in how often people would recommend a full clean as have been doing the regular spot checks and replacing the soiled kitchen roll with new stuff but realise it needs a proper disinfecting eventually.

And on that subject I've heard F10 mentioned quite a lot and found a few sources with some offering ready-to-use versions pre-diluted but also 'super concentrate' versions that you prepare yourself which seems more cost effective, and just interested in peoples opinions and maybe other recommendations?

Hey, if you don't have any problems it proves the stuff works!!

Just to update, have cleaned it twice so far with the F10 and it seems to be working well although I obviously can't tell. I always find it amazing how little F10 you actually use but that's the rules.

I spot check everyday and do a thorough clean out once a month. I use F10. Never had any problems.

I clean mine every 4-5 days. I used Milton but dilute it more than it should be for baby bottles. Have had no problems. I use a soft grass like rug for substrate and wash that in then machine at 30 degrees and dry it out.

Have had no problems. George tends to do his business on the background he's a very clever snake. I give it all a good clean, but I do have OCD and don't want a smelly viv lol (not that I'm saying it would)

I have just bought some of the super concentrate and the F10 hand sanitizer gel. Not used the disinfectant yet but the hand gel is good and smells nice to.

Cheers guys, any other opinions?

I clean out fully every few months or so, I disinfect where they have pooped after I clean though.
Any pet safe cleaner is fine, also a 1 part bleach to 10 part water solution is fine :)

I clean out fully every 5 weeks spraying all items with F10 and leaving for 5 minutes and then rinse items in warm water. Change all the substrate and clean the inside with f10 also wiping out with a damp cloth afterwards. I use the aerosol spray, had one £15 can for 8 months.
