Cage Cleaners...

bakeaway Nov 08, 2007 11:32 AM

I have been using Zoomed's Wipe Out to clean my cages and was wondering if it would be better to use Nolvasan or a generic version of that? Or is Wipe Out just as good.
Thanks.

i use listerine to clean. i use the brown one not the mint or any other kinds. for awhile i been using nolvason not until i heard about the shelf life just like soda it will get flat and won't do it job for cleaning.

LOL I use the hose, The secret is to turn the water up all the way until the cage is clean, then let cage and furnishings dry and replace furnishings and snake. LOL Sory I couldn't help it I have never heard of commercial products to clean cages.
