Cleaning Tort Table
Posted: 09/03/2009 by Row

Hi,

Me again with another question!

What do you clean the floor of a Tort Table with??

Is detol suface cleaner ok? Ot just soapy water?

I'm having a mid week clean and I've noticed that there are stained patches where they have wee'd and what I should clean it with.

Thanks,

Row

Hi Row, What are you using as a substrate? This should soak up most of the wee before reaching any flooring. Perhaps cutting up an odd piece of vinyl and using this as a false bottom to your set up might be worth a thought to save the structure? I use F10 it is a vetenerary disenfectant, I'm sure kimbos rptiles sell it (find it in the links section). You use a small amount made up in a spray bottle, I must admit to using it for everything, very safe.

Hi Elaine,

Where I'm cleaning it's hemp bedding.  The reason for cleaning is that I keep catchng Twiglet the Piglet eating it so I'm removing it from the small area it is in.  I'm replacing it with top soil tomorrow but just wanted to give a quick wipe down before putting soil on top.

Do you think just warm soapy water will be ok until I get some proper disenfectant?
