Oh yeah I showered it in CLR, then bleach, then hit it with a pressure washer I almost got some rats with the deal, but after seeing the condition of the tubs, I'm really glad I didn't. The recently used ones had tons of stuck on, semi wet filthy bedding. And there was dog food stuck in some of the wire :/ Hopefully some time out in the Arizona sun will kill anything I missed.

They're not the prettiest, but they're functional. I'm not the best carpenter, so I'll take cleaning over building any day lol.
