I use Oxine. Here's a link about it: http://www.shagbarkbantams.com/oxine.htm

No place local carried it, so I buy mine online at http://www.revivalanimal.com/

I just clean it out with a shovel then wipe everything down with lysol on paper towels

I buy my Oxine from Revival Animal Health. They seem to be the least expensive on shipping.

This is what I do. 1/2 cup Bleach plus One good squirt of Dish Washing Soap (antibacterial is probably best) in 5 gals of Water. Mix enough to clean all surfaces thoroughly. Use a scrubbing brush cleaning all areas including walls, floors, roosting bars, nesting boxes, etc. Once you are done scrubbing, rinse the entire coop out completely so no residue is left behind. Wait until the coop is dry before replacing the bedding and allowing the flock to come home to roost! I usually put a fan in the coop to help dry it out.
