Hmmm.. Not too sure, I'd perhaps dilute it well with water. But I tend to use milton (for babies bottles) well diluted with water. Its cheap and so far had no problems. You can pick it up in homebargains for like 90p.
Not sure about the one your talking of, but i'd say its Ok (but I'm not sure whether i'd take the risk).
See what others have to say

| There are reptile specific cleaners. It's probably best to stick to them to be honest. There's one called F10 and one called Beaphar Deep Clean which is what I use. |

I use either F10 disinfectant or a glug of plain bleach in boiling water for water dishes and hides. Rinse in clean water and let dry.
(Milton is just a bleach solution.) If in any doubt use a reptile specific brand from the pet store.
Usual warning; Do NOT use any Dettol Surface Cleaners or disinfectants on reptile equipment. Official reply from Customer Services.

| Welshlamb. Milton is just a bleach solution and safe to use but plain bleach is cheap and effective. |
