hi all
So Ive been spot cleaning as necessary but will eventually want to try a deeper clean to rid any paranoia of building bacteria or mold.
Ive read that a number of people try a mild hydrogen peroxide spray with no ill effects. I am mildly worried about its effect on the dead sphagnum and wood Ive used to cover the back of the tank. Anyone have bleaching problems while using a 12-25% H2O2 solution as a cleaning spray?
I also have some simple green, which is non-toxic and (supposedly) harmless to plants. It is really pungent though and Im not sure how sensitive chams are to airborne/vapor based chemicals (chameleon would be free-ranged somewhere while I clean, just worried about residual). Anyone use simple green for cleaning a cage?
to clarify, no issues with mold/bacteria, but I do want a bio-safe cleaner that would knock out both.
