How do I properly clean an animal's cage to ensure the safety of my pet?
user
Make sure to clean the animal’s cage at least once a week with warm soapy water and a dish cloth. Make sure to get into all of the nooks and crannies, paying special attention to any surfaces that your pet might come into contact with. Rinse the cage with cool water and dry it thoroughly before reinserting your pet. To ensure the safety of your pet, don't use cleaning products such as bleach or ammonia-based window cleaners as they can be harmful if ingested.

To properly clean an animal's cage, you should start by gathering the necessary supplies: hot water, non-ionic detergent (optional), bleach and rubber gloves. Then empty and scrub the cage with soapy water, using a wire brush where possible. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry it well. Apply undiluted bleach to any areas that are difficult to clean, let sit for several minutes before rinsing off with water until no residue remains. Make sure you also disinfect objects such as food or water bowls in the same way before placing them back in the cage. Lastly inspect the cage for any remaining debris before allowing your pet back inside it!
