Has anyone seen any reviews or used these two products? They are for "sterilizing" herp enclosures. Wipe Out 1 is for the "cage" and Wipe Out 2 is for things like wood, hot rocks, etc. I got a bottle of the Wipe Out 1 to use on a tank. Anyone have any other recommendations for sterilizing tanks, wood, etc. (Besides bleach)? If there is already a thread for this, admins feel free to move this post.

Thanks.

Was looking at that page on disinfectants etc. Reading the part about Novalsan and Virosan:
"Hexachlorophene has been suggested to be a potent carcinogenic. Some aviculturists use chlorhexidine as a water additive for control of pathogens--this is not recommended by the manufacturers, as these products were never meant for ingestion, and long-term effects have not been studied. "

The potent carcinogenic part has me a little concerned. Does anyone know what type of exposure is carcinogenic? Is it ingestion, breathing "fumes"?

Anyone ever use 35% h202 (hydrogen peroxide)? Read a bit about it but don't know how strong a mix to use as disinfectant. One site touted it as an alternative to bleach.

Here's one link

So if it is used diluted, would that make it essentially the same as "store bought" hydrogen peroxide?

And how long after using hydrogen peroxide does it take to break down into just water and hydrogen (become safe for frogs)?
