Questions about reptile substrate: Zoo Med Excavator?

Has anyone used this stuff? I have a bearded dragon and a uromastyx who would both enjoy burrowing but I’m not familiar with this substrate. Is it safe? Does it hold bacteria or carry other risks of causing disease or disorder? Is it used dry? How much would I need for a 55-gallon aquarium? Is it something you clean or just throw away and start over each time the tank is cleaned? What other bedding is as good or better for them? Any information on this would be greatly appreciated!
