How do you clean the cage?

The top comes off and everything can be taken apart. I recommend using an all purpose cleaning product and lots of water in the bathtub. Rinse well. For stuck on urine scrub with an abrasive sponge. It can be deodorized with a spray from the pet store that is intended for small critter cages.

Its SUPER easy. If you are wanting to change the "litter", you just pop off the wire part from the bottom via the snaps on the side. Dump, change, done. If you are wanting a deep clean (do this every so often!), pop the wire part off, take the tunnels, platforms, wheel, and cover off and wipe them down with a disinfectant wipe (I sometimes put them in boiling water too). Dry and you're good to put it back together. The little green part at the top acts as a holding cage too (if you have tiny hamsters that is), so they are in a safe place while you clean. I've had this for a while now and I LOVE it. And so does my little hammy Dokken! Its SUPER easy.

The tubes pop off. The bottom is easy to unlatch The top "observation" box lifts out. I use green cleaning product. If you don't want all the pieces, consider stainless steel habitat.

It comes apart easily; just remove animal; dump out shavings and clean w/soap and water.

Remove the top and tubes, empty the old bedding into trash, rise and wash with warm soapy water(I use a shower head with a hose), let air dry, fill with new bedding and reassemble.

Every other day I pull out the "waste basket" and dump the rabbit droppings, etc. About every ten days I take a hose to the entire cage since it is plastic. All the sections come apart and snap back together super easily, takes about 5 minutes. Cleaning this cage is simple.

If it were me I would toss it. Mites can be serious so although you could wipe it off, I would just buy a new one. You have to clean everything really well. You can use neem on the back...on drop between the wings and I have gone so far as washing the area around the cage with diluted cedar oil. Good luck!

You can find almost anything on youtube. I went there and it give detail on how to clean it and you do need to take it totally apart. Seed gets stuck in the bottom around the yellow part and if you don't take it apart, you can't clean it. There a place to push in at the bottom part after the cage is removed, to release the plastic tube for detail cleaning. If you don't keep it clean, the birds will stop using it.

I use Nature's Miracle Deodorizing Cage Wipes For Birds, they make cage cleaning so easy. (Or any brand of cage cleaning wipes, just make sure it specifically says safe for birds). Anyway, whatever way you choose to clean it, there is a lift up door in the front that enables to teach your hand in and comfortably wipe down the grates, you are even able to reach the corners. The majority of the mess ends up on the bottom tray, which is fully removable. Regarding the cage; I have two zebra finches who are very happy with it, it really does give them room to actually fly around. We've had this cage a while and are very satisfied with it, I would recommend this bird cage. I use Nature's Miracle Deodorizing Cage Wipes For Birds, they make cage cleaning so easy.

I am returning the habitat because of the design. The openings through the side wire are very small and it would be very hard to clean without taking the whole cage apart.

You simply pull out the little drawer that is below the grate inside & dump it. I always washed mine out, as well, but that is a personal preference. The cage comes apart easily for weekly, biweekly or monthly full cleaning. For whatever reason, the rabbits seem to know to do their "business" down that grate, which is awesome, since it goes down into that little pull out drawer for easy cleaning.

The best way to clean them is vacuuming them with a vacuum. When you can no longer get them somewhat clean it is time for a new one. The cleaner they are the more suction the vacuum will have.

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 last cage that I used had a grate at the bottom that I kept the litter in, so the chinchilla was not able to scatter it. It was much easier to clean also. I am thinking about putting something like that over the trays again. Make sure the grate is small, so they don't get their feet caught.

Yes, the bottom is larger than the cage itself, so the cage is just resting on top of it. That is why it comes with the two clips on the side to hold it down. I fastened bread ties on the outside to secure it further. Just unfasten the clips and lift the whole thing off to clean.

To change bedding... First - line the cage with newspaper before you even start! That makes it easier to change each week. Remove the piggy and all the gear. Use dust pan to remove some of the shavings and place in large garbage bag. Carefully roll up the newspaper w shavings and put in garbage. Use dust pan to finish cleaning shavings. Use Clorox wipes or similar to clean bottom and sides. Place several layers of newspaper on bottom then add shavings, piggy, and gear. Hope this helps!

Yes, it is quite easy to clean. There really isn't much to the cage so it's easy to take apart.

Yes!! The whole cage part is one big piece, attached by two (easy to undo) plastic hooks on each side to the grey plastic base. Pull that off and put it to the side, then the little loft area just sits in the cage, remove that and you're good to clean!

Very easy, you can actually unscrewed cage slip off each parts and clean each parts. That was a pleasant surprise to me.
