How do you clean it?

You open the roof on the nesting box (left side on the picture). You can open the sliding door on the front (open as shown) or you can pull out the shiny tray that is basically the floor of the large square part from the right hand side. If you put this directly on the ground, it may be a little difficult to pull out the tray. We set our coop up on 4 approximately 4" high landscaping bricks. This raises it just enough so the tray always slides in and out easily. The mirrored tray seems very easy to clean.

It has 3 access points ... Pop door, nesting boxes & full width side door. The side door being the biggest opening, likely need to tackle cleanout from both sides (nesting & side). Biggest challenge is also how low to the ground it is further making maintenance, clean put or general access generally difficult. That being said, I had similar concern so during assemblely I did not attach the roof so I would had additional access for clean out as well as hanging small feeders. Full perspective - this unit is not strong or durable. It will not keep out any predators. It would be better suited to be kept within a larger structure ... barn. I have mine in a fenced/netted pen, used occationally, for quarantine or transitioning new or sick birds before they go back to the main coop. It has been out exposed to NJ weather almost one year. Ventilation is poor; winter temps were okay, rain & heat causes mold if closed up, summer heat accumulation can be deadly - birds can not be left in coop. My opinion it will not survive another year. Just today I was struggling with opening the pop door (little wood swell) and I thought it was going to crumble or snap in my hands - cedar like wood is thin, similar to wood shims. Exercise caution when deciding on this product.

The entire roof is held on by two quick latches. It lifts off. There's also a "poop tray" that pulls out the right end, but it could use a little more "headroom" to allow a loaded tray to pull out without "scraping" poop. We generally rake most of the litter out the front door (easy enough with some sand in the floor), then pull the poop tray to get the rest of it. Not too bad. It's really a pretty nice coop, especially for the money. Couldn't come close to duplicating it for the price if I were buying materials at Home Depot.

It has a big shiny slide out pan covering the mane coop floor I just slide it out and scrub the shiny part I wet it down even though it's cedar I know in doing this it will one day damage it I clean it 1-2 times a week. Then it has cedar bottom for the nest box area you can pull it up and that's it, it's quick and easy, it takes me more time to clean my bird cage!

The Pawhut has a slide out cleaning pan under the roosting area, and the low roof opens over the laying area making both accessible for cleaning

There is a tray at the bottom that slides out. It's not obvious in this picture because it is on the other side. Plus the top and the egg box tops open up.

I usually just brush the poop out and then use a garden hose. I have another place to put the chickens when I do this.

Pull the "floor drawer" out and hose it down. Used an old shop vac to get loose sawdust out first.

There is a metal tray below the roosting area where most of the droppings accumulate.This tray slides out for cleaning.Also 2-section nesting box has removable bottom/floor you will have to clean.Works fine for up to four chickens if you open each day to free range.this coop is way way to small to keep chickens in full time.

I don't really clean it. I just wipe it out with a paper towel after each use.

Well, you could wash it out by hand using dish soap or run it through the dishwasher.

Just soak it in mild soap and water, and if there's residue that needs to be removed use a fingernail brush to remove it.

Just blow it or pass you finger gently trough it. The use itself helps to keep it clean

If I remember correctly, the instructions said to clean it with a "soft" cleanser...something like soft scrub.

Just clean it with hot water & a scrubber or brush, heat it on stove to dry it & put a light coat of veggie oil on it

I just spray it with some bleach solution or antibacterial cleaner like 409, let it sit a few minutes then rinse it with a hose.

Just wipe it off with a moist cloth and its clean. Mine is always in a case so i don't have much issues keeping it clean

I've never had to clean mine with anything other than a wet towel, but i suppose windex or alcohol would work best.

Nonono, I just clean it like once every 2nd month or something in the cleaning station. I clean it once per month just by adding soap to it and let it buzz for 30 seconds :)

A little cleaning brush comes with it. And there is some special oil that you use too.

To clean it you can rub a half of a lemon on it and let it sit a few minutes, then rinse, also you can use baking soda and make a paste with water and rub on it let it sit a few minutes and then rinse...
