The common household bleach products are inexpensive yet useful products that are used to clean and disinfect items and surfaces around the house to get rid of bacteria, viruses, as well as other impurities that can harm anyone in the household, including pets. However, many household bleach products have ingredients including chlorine which may be harmful or corrosive to certain materials (such as metals in birdcages). In terms of cleaning your beloved bird’s cage, household bleach products can be used so long as you dilute the bleaching product into a substantial amount of water (you need to read the label or see the packaging instructions for exact ratios or details before you start using the product).
To clean your bird’s cage safely and effectively, you need to use a 10 percent bleach solution. This means you need to use a ratio of 10 percent bleach (1 cup) to 90 percent water (9 cups) and mix them to form a solution. You can use this to clean the cage and accessories.
If you have concerns about your pet’s health and/or needs, talk to your veterinarian Salisbury, NC.
