cleaning toys and perches?

sagittariusgirl89 · Jul 23, 2012

How do you clean perches and toys? I read you have to soak them. What do you use to soak them in?

Also can you soak the grooming perches or will it ruin the sand texture?

I don't soak my toys or perches, but rather use a spray product called Pet Focus.

Pet Focus Ready to Use Spray 32 oz - CLEANING/DISINFECTING by MY SAFE BIRD STORE

It's safe and effective. I spray down toys, cage, and perches and then use a sponge to wipe them clean. This works great for me!

I picked up a huge cage off of CL before I got my first GW, the lady included alot of freebies with it (including a Lg. ORB!) but I also got this brush set with interchangable brushes, one with a hook, it is a lifesaver for cleaning perches!

I swear by grapefruit seed extract. It works great and is very economical. When I first got birds I wanted a good cleaner (I tend to be a germaphobe! LOL) I did some research and found out that it kills more bacteria than even surgical soap. I bought a sprayer at a home improvement store and I fill it with water and then I add 30 drops of gse. I spray my perches, toys, cage etc. I also clean out water bowls throughout the day with it. Sometimes I will spray down the grate and then follow up with a steamer. I do this at least once a week. I also do this to the java tree. I love it and it is very economical!

I second the grapefruit seed extract, a poster hear told me about it, i love it , I also use vinegar and water as a cleaner .

I stick everything I can in the top rack of dishwasher and add a bit of bleach. The rest I use vinegar and water. Also use poop off daily to keep up with the mess so no major scrubbing because nothing builds up.
