Using Alchohol to sterilize bathing tub???

photojoe Jan 03, 2005 08:16 PM

Will this be ok? I have one tub that I was going to use for each beardie, and was wondering if it would be ok to mix a little alchohol in with the water when cleaning it to disinfect, and if it would be safe, and also sterilize?

Thanks

Use white wine vinegar (sp?) and rinse well. If you're worried about parasites like Coccidia and Crypto contaminating though, you want to use bleach and rinse well. That's pretty much the only thing known to kill them... well except fire.

Use bleach for 100% sterilization. You can also use most gentile antibacterial dishsoaps for routine cleaning.
