Nature's Miracle Cage Cleaner
An enzyme-based, widely distributed cleaner that excels at breaking down organic waste and odors, making it a cost-effective choice for routine maintenance in bioactive setups. Its strong deodorizing performance and large, affordable bottle sizes give it a financial advantage for frequent use, though it is less specialized than probiotic products like Exo Terra Biotize that actively support beneficial substrate microflora.

Fluker's Super Scrub Organic Cleaner
A plant-derived, biodegradable scrub formulated to remove tough residues on hides, rocks, and décor while minimizing harm to plants and microfauna in bioactive systems. Though typically pricier than generic cleaners, its organic surfactants and concentrated formula reduce long-term costs by requiring less product per clean and are safer for frequent, hands-on maintenance compared with harsher synthetic alternatives.
