I've used it on cage bases and bars but rinsed well, I've never used more than bog standard hot soapy water for drinkers and food pots, rised twice with boiling water from the kettle then cold.  |

Around £18 for 5ltr concentrate,but u can buy smaller and also ready to use which is cheaper,but dont last as long, the 5ltr is best value and lasts ages.

F10SC WHICH IS THE BEST ON THE MARKET IS THE MAAJOR PLAYER AT THE MOMENT , IT IS SUPER CONCENTRATED AND CAN BE ADDED TO THE DRINKING WATER TO FIGHT OFF AGY

And what is the concentration for F10SC for drinking water? That's not on my bottle. |

1ml in 1 litre of water given for 3 consecutive days once weekly. Only if your birds have a problem and are not breeding.

Thanks, B. A tiny amount of that F10Sc sure goes a long way. It's super concentrated stuff.

I find there's lots and lots of stuff out there, just with everything, that will try and make you spend more money when you don't need to.
I'm not going to start wasting money on specific disinfectants for 'avaries, cages' and etc.
