Hi annwlynn

Clean & Safe isn't ideal for cages as you will need to rinse it off. It isn't recommended you leave a residue of it around your animals. I use C&S for things that I can easily rinse off.

For cages, F10 cleaner is probably best.

For example: www.parrotessentials.co.uk/f10-disinfectant-ready-to-use-refill-1l/?sku=900140&msclkid=b71744629cda1a9115f4263304bbafea

Thank you for quick reply I have just ordered the F10

Something as simple as a weak vinegar solution is good for a once-weekly clean. If you have had a sick bird and want to give the cage a good over-haul then you can’t go past F10.

Thank you for reply is it any vinegar or specific vinegar please

White vinegar is what is usually used for cleaning.

I clean all my pet stuff, dog, rabbit and budgie with a mix of white vinegar and hot water for every day cleaning. Vinegar has disinfecting properties without harsh chemicals. Things will smell like a salad for a while but it wears off after about 30 minutes.

I would use something harsher if a sick bird had been in the cage.
