I have been looking at different cleaners like: Poop-Off, EnviroClens , Aviclean, Miracle something and just plain ol soap and water. What I really want is some kind of spray that I can use for daily cleaning of the cage.

We have always used vinegar on all the animals/birds cages! I have a bottle labeled Vinegar, I mix it about half and half and use it! I LOVE the smell of vinegar (hubby hates it) lol

Yep, we use a vinegar/water mixture as well. I just take the cage outside, spray it down with vinegar, let it sit for 5 minutes (wipe off anything that is stuck on) and then hose it down! In between the big cage clean (which I try to do each week) I just lightly wipe down the cage each night with all natural unscented baby wipes to get rid of any food, poop etc. which makes the big clean a lot easier!

firstar72- For general cleaning a natural solution of white vinegar and water is good... If you need a little more OOOMPH! Try this:Clean & Simple It is Non-Toxic, Environmentally Safe, Biodegradable, meets E.P.A. & O.S.H.A standards and is approved for use in food prep facilities.
My wife has used the product for 2+ years and believes that it is the BEST CLEANING PRODUCT EVER! NO ODOR! Tile floors, counters tops, tubs & showers, mildew, oil & grease, stove, refrigerator, oven, glass and mirrors..... Our first $ 60.00 gallon has lasted more than 2 years! About to reorder! New QP Dad

Not too many people realize that Murphy's oil soap is a natural soap.I use it for twice monthly cage scrub downs as well as cleaning the entire house...of course its not much of a sanitizer but it gets the poop off and smells good

Yup, water and vinegar here too. Spray it on, sit for five minutes and wipes right off! I was amazed at how well and easy it cleans bird poo!

I use holy cow cleaners http://www.holycowproducts.com/ they are USDA approved among other things and I dont just use it for cages but cleaning my entire house. Its also economical however not as economical as my old stand by vinegar and water
