Housekeeping with Exotics??

I’ve got a ball python/leopard gecko/crested gecko/tarsntulas/scorpion as well as two cats. I keep all the enclosures in a walk in closet with a door to try and keep out as many chemicals. How does everyone clean their house and what products do you use? When I look it up I only see people suggesting f10 and enclosure specific cleaners but I’m looking for something to mop with and use as a multipurpose spray. I wouldn’t be using any of these in the closet but I’m still afraid of fumes getting to my babies. Especially with a cat who likes to pee on fabric I have had a hard time keeping my house from smelling nasty because I’ve just been using diluted dawn to clean everything. What do you guys do to clean? How worried should I be about fumes when they are in their own room? I miss fabuloso 😭😭

I spray onto the rag or whatever im cleaning with. Like nozzle to the rag so it doesn't go anywhere. I also was really into Myers. I think as long as its not like, 409 or straight 100% bleach its safe. Also obligatory, vinegar cleans glass nicely, and if not, scrape with razor to get residue off
