Max Lopez Webboard User Reg: 02-10-2005 Posts: 4 Loc: Offline	Which is the best at cleaning a dog crate: Bleach with water Soap with water Kennel disinfectant Lysol I currently clean with bleach water mixture and was wondering if I should use something stronger. I ask because I live in a resedential area that has a lot of stray dogs and, everytime I walk my dogs, I get concerned that they picked up some sort of disease/virus and bring it inside the house and their crates. I have a 1 year old dog and a 3 month old pup. Currently both have done extremely well, they show no signs of sickness and I would like to keep it that way.

Max Lopez Webboard User Reg: 02-10-2005 Posts: 4 Loc: Offline	I'm currently a junior, 16 years old. What I should've asked was, if there was anything stronger than a mixture of bleach water to clean a crate? I'm assuming by Deanna's post that a kennel disinfectant is not as strong as bleach water at deodorizing and killing bacteria and viruses for a healthier environment?
