How do you clean your cages.

I clean mine with disinfectant then i leave them outside in rain to clean up.

We then paint them and let them dry and they come up like new.

I scrub them with disinfectant weekly (I use either Vanodine - Genie or Virkon).

When renovating cages - they are then blow-torched and wire-brushed and then left outside to "weather" (UV rays from the sun kill viruses).

Then I respray them - and like Aileen says - they come up really well.

I use the vanodine and wire brush as well Debbie.

I have never tried the blow torch on them.

We do use the power washer on them.

What kind of paint do you use Debbie?

It was car plan paint we used but finding it hard to get now.

Take care
