I use an antibacterial spray. I have been doing for years and it's been fine. I even used it daily for about 2 months to clean the table and all contents when my tort had RNS.

I use a mild solution of bleech and water. It should kill most anything you have to worry about. After cleaning with the bleech and water rinse with clean water. Dry and let it stand for a couple of hours... then you are good to go.

The product doesn't seem to address protozoa or nematodes and bleech is probably a heck of a good deal less expensive.

I got my F10 direct from the vet for £4 odds, enough to last about 5,000 years
