Default What is the best disinfectant after "Crypto"?

Hi, my Leopard gecko past away. It has had a "Crypto". What will be the best to clean a vivarium before I buy a new lizard? Sorry for any mistakes (English is my second language)

i have started using "Beaphar" "Deep Clean"..

its great, but i would alos use a very VERY watered down bleach, and water mix, and let it dry out, then again wipe the vivrium out with a disinfectant.

F10 is brilliant stuff. You can get it online or from your local vets.

Thanx for quick respond. I have F10 at home and just bought "Vircon S". But I must be sure for 100% that it works for Crypto. I don't want lose another lizard.

I spoke with breeder who lost all reptails after Crypto infection. She used pure amonia to cleaned all accessories and vivs. Only amonia could kill crypto. After used pure amonia she rebuilt her leopard gecko's collection without any problems.

I found this one as well:
Neopredisan http://www.menno.de/fileadmin/user_u...AN_135-1_E.pdf

and this information from different forum about Crypto and how to disinfect:
