    Nope, not IMO. When I see a used cage of any kind for sale, I always ask myself "I wonder what the previous occupant died of?" and I start getting visions of crypto & IBD hiding in every nook & cranny. Get it? We've thoroughly discussed how to sanitize such acquisitions here previously- at the moment I don't have time to repeat it all.

    Dish soap yes- first to remove all dirt & grunge, otherwise disinfectants don't even work well.

    After that: Diluted bleach is highly recommended-kills the most stuff- must be rinsed thoroughly of course. This is best done outside or in the garage, & isn't my idea of fun, but necessary IMO.

    Then: use things like F10, or even spray on rubbing alcohol & let it dry. Using multiple methods to disinfect (every inch of this thing inside & out!) is the safest for any future occupant. DO NOT COMBINE THEM to save time & energy either, by the way.
