Hi

I wouldn't use overdue F10 for any antiseptic purposes (like nebulisation, abscess flushing etc) or for an acute ringworm outbreak but it should be still OK as a cleaning disinfectant for a normal cage clean.

Online is best. We recommend the concentrate because it lasts longer and can be used for all purposes as you can mix the necessary strength yourself.

thank you! yes its only for bottles and cage cleans currently, i would of course buy fresh if we had an outbreak. just wanted to check it wasn’t dangerous!

any website in particular? I'm struggling finding the right one!
 
I get it from Amazon. Either one of those is fine

F10sc is the disinfectant so is used where surfaces are already clean.
F10Scxd is a disinfectant cleanser. It has added detergent so cleans as well as disinfects.
I tend to go for the xd version

As said above it’ll still be safe to use for cleaning, it’ll just be less effective 👍🏻
