Cleaning.

This is more for people with reptiles, amphibians & small animals but if anyone else has suggestions please post them.

How do you clean your animal's cages?

When I had hamsters & guinea pigs, I would just run the cage through hot water a few times and use an old paint brush to scrape out dried waste in the corners.

Now, I'm looking for effective ways to clean out my cricket's tub and my frogs & salamander's water bowls. I've been using lots of hot water and Tide, lol.

Anyone else have any suggestions on good ways to clean?

Please keep in mind my salamander is extremely sensitive, so I have to be careful not to leave any soap suds in the tub, or else they could become sick from eating crickets, or swimming in water, that have not been 100 % cleaned.

Hrmm...vinegar and water? That's what I use to clean my GP & hamster cages out

Try a mixture of distilled water and vinegar.

Have always used baking soda for new/old aquariums, etc. If it's fine for the fishies it should be fine for your reppies.
