: Please no more febreeze, to many unexplained animal deaths and hair loss because of this stuff. It has Zinc Oxide in it and it is bad for your gliders lungs. I would use vinegar and water, or you can use 5 parts water to 1 part bleach. Make sure you really rinse the cage well so their is no residue.

: remember the more often you clean the entire cage, the more your gliders will continue to mark it. I found that just cleaning the papers daily and cleaning the cage with vinegar and water once a week, you will find the smell will go away.

: : i use vinegar and lime juice in water and a sponge with a scrubby to clean mine......the cage is too large to move intot he shower....i clean it every couple weeks...then a good cleaning once a month or so....probably should be done more though.
