Sterilizing used kennels

[Quatie]

I am picking up some used metal kennels today. They were used for housing gamefowl. I want to sterilize and clean them up before using them for my ducks. I tried looking this up and all I could find was was with soap and water. Is the best way just soap and water or is there a better way of going about that?

A bit of bleach maybe?

I use a disinfectant called Tek-Trol. Just mix with water and put it in a sprayer and spray everything down very user friendly. It kills just about everything you would encounter. I use it to clean my waterers/Feeders, Incubators, brooders. poultry buildings/coops and anything else that would need disinfected. Can even use as a foot bath before entering coops or runs. There are different types out there, but this works very well for me. Can also be used to disinfect/clean eggs for incubating but I never clean my eggs for incubating just choose clean eggs and leave natural protective bloom on eggs.

And of course it doesn't ship to CA . I may end up using bleach if I can't come up with something better.

Be careful you don't mix bleach with dish detergent.

Hi,

Do you have to rinse the product after spraying?

 

[WIchickMama]

There is some on Amazon that might ship to CA but might be more expensive

Why is that?

Why is that?

Mixing bleach with ammonia (which is in dish soap) creates toxic gases.
