?Cleaners around your pet Amazon...aeresols, etc?

[mommy4jesus88]

Also, I understand that aeresols like hair spray can be deadly to the bird. Does that mean, not to use them in the same room, or not in the house at all? What types of cleaners are okay to use on the birds cage and or floor around where the bird stays? Can I ever bug bomb my house again? (obviously not with the bird inside) So much to learn fast...:unsure:

Sorry , it is not safe to bring bug bombs into the home.

Hair spray can be used but not while the bird is in the room , and if your bird preens your hair , it is better to be safe and not use it at all . Straight or diluted white vinegar to clean toys , cages , sinks , counter tops , glass, mirrors , etc ..Works great .Candles , air plug ins, anything that smells is a no no. Teflon , copper , cookware , ovens that self clean while cooking , and spray on oven cleaners are not safe.

The link lovemygreys gave you has more info.

i'll second what's been said so far, if your worried about the corrosion from vinegar, hot water and soap works well. i'd also recommend one of those tiny hand held vaccuums and a floor/fabric steamer mop thing so you can clean and disinfect the floor and stuff around the room without using chemicals.
