Commercial products like nolvasan are chlorhexidine diacetate where as the generic is chlorhexidine gluconate but either can be used. It is bactericidal and kills both gram positive and negative microbes, it also limits bacteria growth. It may also work as a virucide. It is not a fungicide and won't kill all viruses but this isn't an issue with healthy animals, if you are running a rescue using bleach is the best method but to do so it would need to avoid contact with animals and have enough time to become deactivated before adding them back to the enclosure, I sometimes use bleach during the weekly enclosure deep clean some of the animals get.
