I know there are many topics that are about this issue and i've read them, but there is a problem. Here in Greece there are not many pet shops that sell reptiles, therefore i can't easily find a reptile cleaner either. What should i do? Buy one online (i think it's gonna cost a lot to deliver it in Greece) or is there an easier solution?

Hmm, or, warm soapy water with a good rinse will do.

Use washing up liquid, if you can get it out there, or, put all the decor in the dishwasher and wipe the viv down with a cloth that has been dunked in warm soapy water, then rinse the viv down.

I read that baby safe disinfectant is not enough for snakes.

Best to use a baby disinfectant at least, but it's easy enough to find reptile disinfectants that aren't expensive. I have a very good one, its yellow in a spray bottle, can't remember the name but it has a green lizard on the front. Very long lasting and you don't need much, and barly smells of anything :)
