Which Form Of Virkon?

[Florrieberry]

We recently rescued 2 baby piggies, one of whom had ringworm in Ear, in quarantine and being treated. Due for return checkup to vets in 2 weeks before intro to our other piggies. Very recommends using Virkon to clean our spare cage before storage. Google shows various forms (presumably Virkon S?).... Tablets look useful (saves measuring for dissolving) & I believe you can use them in wash with vet bed as well? (is that ok for a washing machine?) So basically I would like to know if this is the right Virkon and does it matter how it is bought eg powder or tablet? Thank you

We recommend strongly to use F10 disinfectant as - unlike virkon - it is the only one to be proven to kill ringworm spores. You can use either the spray or the concentrate.
