Regular cage cleaning is very important to keep your pocket pet safe and healthy. Preparing what you will need beforehand will help make the task easier. Cleaning supplies you are using for your pet’s cage should never be mixed with other household cleaning supplies. Never wash the cage or the cleaning tools on sink or tubs which are used for food preparation or human bathing.

The things to prepare will include the following:

• A small cage which will accommodate your pocket pet while you are cleaning his cage
• Different types of brushes that can easily clean every nook and cranny of the cage
• At least 3 sponges – one each for cleaning, for rinsing, and for disinfecting
• Buckets
• Paper Towels or Cloth
