Cleaning

When I say cleaning I mean like the floor under the cage that they poop all over and the walls around the cage that food and who knows what else gets slung onto... just wondering what to use to clean these areas... I worry even using a small amount of diluted household clearer.... what is safe to use, I don't want any fumes hurting my birds... Thanks

I use white vinegar and hot water :) I have tile and hard wood floors and it's safe for both, disinfects, and also helps remove odors, once the vinegar stink goes away :giggle:
How do you dilute the vinegar?

I've seen on the Linnie Forum about using grapefruit seed extract? or maybe it is grape seed extract? :shrug: I need to go back and read that stuff, but I'm so behind on that forum I get nervous just opening up the thing and seeing the three thousand or more new posts I haven't read! Anyway, do they use that stuff for cleaning the house or just the bird's stuff?

Oh, and does it have to be white vinegar? I think white vinegar is malt vinegar. For my own health using a vinegar not made from gluten grains would be best, I try to avoid anything that possibly could cause a problem if there is another alternative.

Sorry, I know these questions have nothing to do with bird health specifically, because birds don't have trouble with this.
I use white vinegar and apple cider vinegar - depends on whats handy :giggle: As for diluting it, there's no real specific measurement I use, I just fill my gallon bucket and use a splash :shrug: Sorry I can't be of much help there! The good thing is there's no such thing as too much, so you can't over do it
