I use vinegar mixed in my hot water.

some recommend f10 but imo its too expensive to be used on cleaning (jasper has it in showers) also i've found it can fade dark wood.

for his cage i buy johnsons clean n safe which i use on furniture and windows,just about everything  makes everything shiny too

I have Johnsons clean and safe as well...  though did buy the f10 wipes for emergency use...  the Johnson's smells nicer than the f10    and as Jules said I use it on everything around Darwin... his cage, the table, the chairs, even the dogs if they stand still to long    (just kidding)

hi many thanks for your advise...is it the johnson's clean and safe spray bottle....is this the one?

[xnicelittlemissx]

ahh just seen another johnson's clean and safe spray for caged birds...is that the one i would get,and it is safe???

[Janie]

Yes it's the one for caged birds (red in colour), and yes it's safe.  Though always make sure where you have used any cleaners is allowed to dry before you let your friend back near it.

I mix about a half cup of bleach with a half cup of all purpose detergent with three or four cups of water in a spray bottle for the weekly cage cleaning and general poop removal. Of couse, rinse well and be careful around fabrics and such. Never spray where the birds might get some on them, but I am told diluted bleach is safe.

 i think a very weak solution of bleach would be ok. but be wary of the fumes i gives off

    Thanks for the warning Jules...  consider me warned about your fumes...  wherever they come from...   

Is that what you can a Freudian Slip?   

  Made me giggle anyway...

Are you part of the Xmen Jules, let me guess, you're the one who defeats her enemies by knocking them unconsious? Or are you the one who's fuming with rage?
