i just squirt it in the viv to clean the tanks, and to clean all the decor, i wash them in hot water, then spray a bit of the disenfectant on a piece of kitchen roll and wipe all the stuff down to make sure it fully clean

Hi, I started out using Milton, then I discovered F10, which is what the vets use ... can't say fairer than that.

I use a product called TriGene, it's a high level disinfectant made for vets. You can buy a concentrated 5 ltr container of in for just over £50, which sounds expensive until you realise that you dilute it 1:200. One container lasts me years and I use if for all my pet cleaning. Actually come to think about it I often use it household cleaning as well (safer for the cats).

Same here F10.
F10 SC is a disinfectant and the F10 SCXD is a disinfectant and light duty cleaning. (You have to clean before you can disinfect)
you can get it here - http://www.bigreptileworld.co.uk/f10-disinfectant-9-c.asp and http://www.reptiles.swelluk.com/reptile-supplies/reptile-f10-disinfectant-range-1389.html

F10 without fail. I get the concentrated formula then just dilute it. Great for so much more than just cleaning the viv as well. Also use the f10 hand gel instead of alcohol rub.
