best way to sanitize new (large) terrarium?

[MatthewM1]

I use diluted vinegar to clean my tanks, just be sure to let them soak in the solution for about a half hour before rinsing very thoroughly untill you can no longer smell vinegar

My only thought would be to use a steam type cleaner like they use on windows and such. Only concern would be it might cause the silicone to come loose but that is a guess.

I can't fill it up to let anything soak in it. That's why I was thinking maybe just wiping it with a bleach solution. Anyone with experience with the front opening exo terra chime in? Thanks.

I use vinegar and water on all my tanks, regardless of what i am putting in it.

Wipe Out

Use the bleach solution in a spray bottle. Then you don't need to fill it up to get all over. If you can rinse it outside with a hose, that would be the easiest to get most of it flushed out from the hard to reach places. Followed by a few pots of hot water. No need to boil just hot tap water.. Hot water breaks down bleach real quick so its the best way rinse anything cleaned with it other then live plants. Then let it dry real well.

Hi! Newbie here!

Just cleaning terrariums for pacmans and crested geckos and I see people use bleach (not a choice I want) or vinegar. I'm curious what ratio for vinegar cleaning you would use? Of course, rinse, rinse, rinse!

Thanks in advance!
