Saffy Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 Wow, did I really start this thread? I'd never use strong smelling stuff now ... Though I have used watered down Dettol then hosed it out and left the cage to dry. I've found the best thing to do, is line the bottom of the cage with gaffa tape (spelling) so each strips overlaps the other. It makes it so so easy to just wipe out then.

murf Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 all i can say is that my home boarding license does not recommend using jeyes for cleaning my yards which dogs mite use occassionally , so for smaller pets maybe this is not a good idea. and i am licensed by local authority and the folk who license me im sure know there stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
