Hi guys, I need your help on which f10 to get for disinfecting birb items. The vet previously gave me a pre-diluted spray and I wanna get more online. But I realized there's different f10s? there's f10 SC, and f10 SCXD?

Which do you guys use?

I personally use the F10 SC as my vet said it is what they use for cleaning their cages etc.

F10 SC is the disinfectant only, it does not need to be rinsed off, no real odor (it's the one I use)
F10 SCXD (XD = xtra detergent) has detergent in it, must be rinsed off, has a "pine-sol" smell

F10SC :) Is a clear liquid.

XD has detergent and is a green liquid.

Since the disinfectant is most effective when allowed to air dry, having to rinse off the XD seems to sort of defeat the purpose of disinfecting.

I know what you're saying. It's always been my understanding that you wash first, then disinfect.
