Dawn dish soap and water for me - rubbing alcohol now and then followed by a wipe of water. But I quit crickets long ago.

I've been trying to quit crickets, but I always have to eat a few before I go to bed or I can't fall asleep.

I have been wiping the bottom on of cage with Clorox disinfecting wipes once a week.I figured for the dead crickets and poop clean up. Is this ok?

We use them for household purposes, but offhand, I don't know exactly what's in them.

I use Nature's Miracle for Stinky Dragons (not it's real name). FOLLOW DIRECTIONS.

Dawn may be one of the worst things to use, chemically.

There should be no trace of soap if you rinse properly.

There should be no trace of soap if you rinse properly.

In a perfect world, maybe. IME, nobody's perfect, and there is usually—if not always—residue.

Less potentially harmful residue with other products, and none with alcohol or peroxide.

If you use any product beyond water be sure to do a rinse afterward. If I use anything harsh like bleach products I do it when they are out of the cage. I use activated hydrogen peroxide but I haven't been able to find it post covid. Lysol makes one I like fumes aren't an issue.

Isn't that basically the active ingredients in Oxiclean?

I have never used it in that form. If it breaks down into the same components it should be fine.

From the page:

breaks down to oxygen, water and sodium carbonate (soda ash) in your wash water.

Sodium Carbonate (not to be confused with Sodium Bicarbonate) is generally considered harmless to humans in small quantities. I have no idea about chameleons, or the 1% not included in the "99% pure".

At least I know that hydrogen peroxide solution breaks down into water & oxygen.

Yup. oxiclean is about 60% that stuff.

And its the same stuff that goes into people water to adjust ph levels.
