Safe for my geckos?

Would this be a good sanitizer? I'm assuming that if it is safe for human toddlers, it must be safe for geckos, but I have been wrong before. Would you use it on your cage?

it costs just as little to buy a bottle of virosan, which is proven safe for herps... plus it's going to last a LOT longer, and you can use it for everything! Wound wash, hand cleaner, tank cleaner...

Well, when dealing with chemicals size always matters to determine toxicity, a baby human is still a lot bigger than a gecko, and it would take more toxin to show symptoms in the bigger creature than it would take to seriously harm the smaller.

We prefer good old bleach solution, because I know if I rinse the object out several times it has no cleaning residue. Same with the products made for lizards. I would worry about a household product leaving behind something that couldn't just be rinsed away. No shortcuts here.
