I have a spare all glass tank. I notice a slight odor after removing the old aspen bedding that was located above the under the tank heater. It's clearly some dried up poop residue that I hadn't noticed before, but you don't see it on the glass.

I'm sure if I put in fresh aspen I won't smell it. But that's not the point.

My question is, what's the best way to clean out this odor?

There is a great product called "Microban Plus". It's an EPA approved antimicrobial spray. Not only does it dissinfect porous and non-porous surfaces, it also has a covering scent until all the microbes are killed, thus eliminating the source of the odor (usually bacterial in nature). Microban also kills viruses etc... I don't sell it, but I do use it. Not only am I a herp enthusiast, I am also a IICRC certified odor control technician, carpet cleaner etc... Just get some, follow the directions on the bottle, and thoroughly rinse, rinse and rinse again. Microban works in 20 minutes!

I hope this helps.

Happy Holidays and Happy Herping!

thanks I just used some mild vinegar, and rinsed well..it's gone.
