Getting red of stains

[Ellie-May]

Hi everyone,

I have just spent an hour deep cleaning my piggies cage, but there are just some stubborn stains I can’t get. I think it is where they must wee. I usually put boiling hot water with a little bit of fairy liquid and let that soak for like 10 minutes, clean that and then use the clean n safe by Johnson’s. Some of the stains are removed, but maybe I should put newspaper down next time?

Lining with newspaper may be a good idea.
White vinegar is good to use to clean with and remove stains

I think I will have to use newspaper. I can’t stand the smell of white vinegar will just have to layer it up with newspaper lol

I always use white vinegar and it works a treat.

It’s the smell I can’t stand lol. Do you add it to water?

yes i dilute with water for routine cleaning, but anything more stubborn and I’d try using less water to see if that helped

I use newspaper and you still get crusty stains underneath. Try some lemon juice. Washing up liquid is just a de greaser so it won't do much

Thank you! Do you mix like a fresh lemon with water?
