Usually I stick with good ol' white vinegar and hot water to clean and disinfect my cage and equipment. It's cheap, safe, and effective, especially when it comes to mold potential.
A little while ago, though, I started using that all natural brand Melaleuca for around my house. I guess this company has been around since the 80s and they are committed to all natural, non toxic products. The two cleaners I have from them so far work super well for general and deep house cleaning, and supposedly they are so safe they don't even need child-proof caps (their words, not mine...though too much of a good thing.....). Anyways, I'm wondering if anyone here has used that brand or other similar natural cleaners for their chameleons. I know that what can be safe for humans, cats, and dogs may not always be safe for reptiles. It's not like I'll be dousing Olivander himself with the cleaner; I just don't want any residual scent irritation if I clean his enclosure or trace poisoning, if you will, from using it in feeder insect containers.
Share your opinions! I'm fine sticking with the vinegar, but I thought if this other natural stuff is safe for reptiles while being super awesome at cleaning, I'd give it a try. Thanks!
