cut and fitted into my viv....now im trying to decide to seal them in or not ? for moving the viv it will be easier if they removable, and cleaning i can just take out the dirty tile !?

whats everyone elses thoughts ?

Mine are loose. For exactly the reasons you mentioned.

To help absorb liquid that comes with the poop, place kichen paper towels under the tiles and if it leaks through the cracks you just chuck the p/towel and wash the tile ;D

I do the exact same thing on both my vivs

I am going to put paper towels down ! just cut the tiles to fit and test fit ! still need to wash and bake them ! but im happy with the test fit

whats the best for washing them ? dish washing liquid and warm water ? vinegar water mix ?

I wipe mine with a wet handy andy cloth (Those yellow ones) and dry with dish towel for daily cleaning. Then 1x month for the thorough clean I use dish liquid and really hot water. After that I bake them for an hour before replacing.

I clean mine with unscented baby wipes and once a month wash them in hot water and dish soap.

Monique, We seem to be doing the same things here

I third that! I did the exact same thing with papertowels and monthly cleaning. But I cleaned mine with a bleach solution. In the future, I'll use vinegar and water along with baking them once a month.

What is the correct vinegar/water mix ?
