How do I safely clean a new crested gecko tank or cage for my pet?

Question

What's the safest chemical to use when cleaning a newly bought cage for a crested gecko?

Angel Alvarado, LVT · Accepted Answer

For a new tank, hot, soapy water followed by a thorough rinsing is sufficient. Steam cleaning and a dilute bleach solution (1/2 cup bleach:1 gallon water) can be used for disinfection. There are also commercial cleaners, such as Zoo Med Wipe Out, that can be purchased online or in most pet stores.
