Like you mean the cage itself? I use unscented baby wipes. :)

I guess you could use a vinegar and water solution, but baby wipes are good for removing rainbow poopie from stuff! ;D

I do use the unscented no alcohol b wipes, but they don't make them to disinfect. so, vinegar is a disinfectant. hmm... That would make sense considering I put it in their water to reduce the chance of contracting AGY again.

I wonder if you could get like some handiwipes and keep them soaking in a jar of the vinegar solution to use for quick spot cleaning? Or would the solution lose its potency after a period of time? Hmmm..

I use Poop Off towelettes. However, I too had thought about unscented babywipes! If you have used them and everything turned out okay I think I better go buy myself a box. Them poop off thingies are 9 bucks a canister, and I go through about 2 a month!

Buy a big jug of Poop-Off online, and just keep filling your smaller bottle with it. It is way much cheaper buying it this way. Vinegar is a good disinfectant. You could also look into Grapefruit Seed Extract to use into the water.

I love poop -off! When I got Jade in November, her cage had a lot of old hardened poopies on it. It was a mess! That stuff just melted it away. Some women love diamonds and money. I love poop-off. ;D
