I use a mixture of lemon juice (fresh), vinegar and hot water to clean my suggies cage. The lemon is also a natural, non-toxic disinfectant and it makes the vinegar not smell so gross. Maybe you can add it to the topic, Eric :)

eventually the cage will rot if you use to much lemon juice

Thats what I want for Christmas even though the gliders aren't mine and I shouldn't be cleaning up after them.

My mom just got a shark floor steamer and it came with a free hand steamer, I'll have to give it a try

I use vinegar and water. Just had a wonderful time cleaning the cage today. Now I smell like easter eggs (vinegar).

i like the smell of vinegar. im wanting a hand held steamer as well for christmas. any recommendations for which one to get that doesnt cost a lot?
i also just use vinegar and water on the cage and everything else in my room. and on the gliders toys and fleece, its good for everything lol. maybe using a steamer will help people who cant stand that smell.

Shadow I got my steamer from Aldi but that place is one of those here today gone tomorrow I have also had a Scrunchie Steamer that worked Awesome till it got borrowed and never returned but I'd say the shark is the best but costs the most try Ebay they have ok deals on them I think. it is worth a try,right!!

I by myself all 5'2" of me drug my 6' cage outside and hosed my cages of and got them clean and I did this before 11:am in the cold weather I have lots of cuts on my hands and wrists now.... but my babies cages will be clean and their room will smell good for about 4 days usually I have help but everyone is sick so I had to do it plus I am having surgery tomorrow and I am trying to stay busy so I don't scare myself. oh the things we do for our gliders

I have had a Shark hand held steamer for ever! I can not imagine my life with out one. I clean the windows, shower, furniture, you name it. And when I got my suggies, their cage was the next on my to-clean list :). I think it's wonderful! There's a lot of options to buying one.. Try ebay or google steam cleaner. Not sure if Amazon has them, but I don't know how any household does without it. They simply use water to clean, no rinse and re-rinse methods needed to make sure you are not leaving any chemicals behind. Highly recommended!
