I make a mix of vinegar, water and a few drops of dish soap. The soap helps get the tough mess out. I use it to clean any and everything pet related, including cat litterboxes and rat cage cleaning. For anything where I suspect illness, parasites or new animals, the cages get cleaned with bleach solution, air dry, then vinegar mix.

For house cleaning, I use the same mix plus a few drops of peppermint essential oil for a nice smell.
