Since then I have used Virkon.
Sph Pet Supplies, Pet Suppliers Wholesale and Retail, Pet Food and Bedding You get this from farm/animal shops. Its a disinfectant, very strong and very safe. It tells you exactly how to dilute it. Never had a problem with this.
I'm quite sure there are many people who have had no problems with Trigene but I did.
Similar thing happened to me with Virkon. Horrible taste that got so bad at depth that I had to bailout to avoid vomiting. I don't think it's so much the product but getting it both properly diluted and properly rinsed.
The pet version of Virkon is exactly the same stuff as the DEFRA approved stuff, the only difference is that they don't guarantee it's effectiveness in the same way as they have to with the agricultural grade (from the rep when he was in the local farm shop). I think there is a different fragrance added as well.
Probably not the best but I just use water. Occasionally. As in I can't remember the last time...
