Instructions
Check the hamster cage daily for wet or soiled areas. Clean these patches out daily. These patches can lead to an overwhelming ammonia odor, if they are not cared for promptly.
Clean the cage with soap and water once a week. Wipe down the cage with a mild soap and rinse it with water. Let it dry completely before putting new bedding in. If you find that you are not able to get some of the urine stains off, mix together some hot water and vinegar. Pour the solution into the cage and let it sit for a while, before cleaning it with soap and water.
Dispose of all the old bedding and replace it with new bedding once a week.
Clean accessories like wheels and food bowls at least once a month with mild soap and hot water.
