That is straight disinfectant.
No cleaning detergent in that one.

You clean with whatever your choice of cleaner is and rinse and dry if needed (I usually clean the cage with just hot water if I can) then spray with the diluted F10sc and leave it to dry.

I’ve never seen it for sale in such small amounts before.

I do remember reading that F10 has some counterfeiting happening so to buy it from a reputable seller. I can’t say I’ve seen that bottle before. The label is actually a fair but different to my 200ml bottle and my 5lt bottle.
@Hankmacaw @Mizzely what do you guys think? Are the labels made different for each country maybe? Mine are both without any blue on their labels.

Thanks! Was gonna do just that so that's great. Was all ready to ring up the store amd ask for a return haha

Strange we can only get this one here and no the orange vet label one.

I think the last bottle I got was 100ml.

I don't recall seeing that label before, you could maybe contact the manufacturer to be sure it's legit

Oh I just saw this. Most of the pet stores online only sell this blue label one. I'll wait to hear back before using this just to be sure!

Just updating-

The store checked with their supplier and said it is the same product but an updated packaging.

Local bird owners here also confirmed it's safe to use once diluted to the stated ratios :)

Phew!

Steaming does the job and is quick and easy! I have had this one for many years. Steam cleaned a large walk-in aviary in 30 minutes yesterday.

I may just try steam cleaning my flock's cages. I dread dragging all their cages outside to be power steamed, something which I need to do again very soon.
