10% bleach/water works too but you need to rinse it off after cleaning.
I use this too.

I use F10, rolls of paper towel, a plastic and a metal scraper, a plastic dishwashing brush, disposable gloves and a garbage bag. I have a big tub of bleach solution and place the bowls and furnishings in this including shed rocks etc.
wont hurt them you can use this stuff in foggers to get rid of fungal infections in frogs as well as respiritary infectionsonly prob i find with the f10 once i clean my tank then spray it down with f10 with spray bottle it kinda leaves light smudge/blotches on the glass, so i clean it off 2 hours later with water once the f10 has done its job, if the f10 spray is on the glass and dried out and i mist the glass windows and my gecko licks up the water particles with f10 in it would it be bad for them ? because thats why i wash it after with water to get rid of the f10 residue
Oh and it's good for wherever the missus has been too.
I depends why you are cleaning. I am surprised F10 gets rid of smells any more than bleach and water. The main thing is not toexpose animals or the environment to any more chemicals than necessary. We dont need to neuc the planet, afterall any germs in a reptile cage have normally come from the animal which lives in there and are part of their micrenvironment. There is something to be said for developing natural resistance. We dont want to develop asthmatic reptiles by killing their natural immune systems.
There is a good article on disinfectants in the reptiles Australia mag vol 2 issue 5. Here is a pic of a table comparing all the different types with the pros & cons. If the pic isn't clear enough I will upload it from my computer when I get home.
