alex2014 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Anyone know what cleaners are safe to use, i'm talking about on the seed catcher. Right now i just use a spray bottle of water, a plastic putty knife and a paper towel to clean off the poop. I read some references to vinegar and water. Just looking for something to make it easier to clean. Didn't know if commercial products like simple green which are supposed to be non toxic were safe. I wouldn't use it on the cage itself, just the seed catcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kins2321@yahoo.com Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Vinegar and water is safe. I also take the cages outside and scrub down with dawn dish detergent for years.I have some kind of cleaner from my petstore for winter. Will see what it is Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brat Birds Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Real hot water is the key. Steam is your friend!! LOL I use vinegar too, just make sure you rinse it well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimKim Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I use water also. I spray it on the grates, then let it soak for a few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywings Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Make it easy just pour some Hydrogen Peroxide on the stuck goop wait a few minutes the wipe off it dissolves dried on droppings and food quite thoroughly. Vinegar and hot water are also good things and a steam cleaner works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inara Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Any and/or all of the above. I put boiling water on a folded up paper towel, spritz it with vinegar and use that to wipe everything down. If there are dried stuck on bits I either set the paper towel on those for a few secmonds to soften, or I spray with a natual enzyme prodect called Natures Habitat. Then I rewipe everything down with another boiling water only paper towel. I do this every morning so it really only takes a few minutes. Once a week I wipe down every bar and nook and cranny and now that it is summer here, I tke the entire cage outside, hose it down and let the sunshine dry it and really bake it abt once a month.
