OK, now I'm going to begin to clean my new enclosure and décor before set up. What's the best way to do that? Hot water and no soap/cleaners??

Hot water and dish soap. Rinse everything off until all the bubbles from the soap are gone, then rinse it 3 more times, soapy residue will make anything sick(not fatal but it will vomit, a lot) when it is ingested. If something needs to be disinfected, soak it in some rubbing alcohol and hot water. Again you can never rinse something too much, and allow it to air dry for a few hours or longer.

Hello!
To disinfect the cage you can use a commercially available tank cleaner that is safe for reptiles. There is many places, and sites that sell such.
What I did to kill any germs on my decor items was stick them in the oven on a cookie sheet. I set the temperature for 250, and let them sit in there for 25-30 minutes. Just make sure to watch and make sure nothing starts to smolder.

Hope this helped :)
