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.

Vinegar and water put in a spray bottle.. smile.gif

I have also used aviclean ..but now just use vinegar and water when doing a weekly wipe down I take the cages out side once a month for a good hot water and soap scrub down and hose off leave dry in the sun..

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! smile.gif 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! biggrin.gif

firstar72- For general cleaning a natural solution of white vinegar and water is good...

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 smile.gif

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 smile.gif
