    venigar and water
    Is it true that a venigar / water sollution is good for cleaning/wiping tubs out? If i was to use it, are there any precautions i should take?

    I use vinegar and water regularily to clean a lot of things around my house including the snake tubs. You can use a strength of 1 part regular white vinegar to 1 part water (that's very strong so feel free to cut the vinegar back a bit if you like). Just rinse very well and air out until you cannot smell any vinegar residue. Just remember that vinegar is a good sanitizer and may have some antibacterial qualities to it but it isn't a disinfectant (actually just washing out your cage is cleaning not disinfecting anyways but just to be clear on what vinegar can and cannot do).

    You could also order this product which is commonly used for tub cleaning.

    I usually use a very weak bleach solution. I was a bit excited seeing that vinegar/water could be used, as I love the smell of vinegar (and bleach smells revolting) but I think I'll stick to icky bleach for now.
    I remember I used to work at a convent, in their cafeteria, and we used vinegar for mopping; seems like things were always sparkling clean there.
