I would put a plastic tray in the bottom that you could clean easier than the wood. I have done that in my rabbit cage also.

I use vinegar and sometimes mix in peroxide. It should bubble if it's working.

Why don't you get a piece of plexi from the hardware store and line the bottom of the crate with it? Plexi is cheap and they will probably cut it to size for you at the store. This way you can remove the plexi and rinse with each cleaning?

Thank you for the suggestions. I cannot use bleach, for piggy reasons and human reasons, not safe for any of us to breathe. I will try the other suggestions tho. His cage doesnt smell, i just want to keep it that way. I keep it cleaned out daily.

My family has had guinea pigs for years. I would just suggest soap and water for your cage with a thorough drying. Bleach, vinegar, may disinfect, but the smell may hurt your pet's lungs. Piggers are much more sensitive to these things then we are. I read a previous post about foil lining. I would not suggest this either as the guinea pig may ingest the foil which would be fatal.

Vinegar is a natural deodorizer, perhaps add it to the rinse water > and when it is dry, sprinkle some baking soda on the bottom of the cage. It might help to keep the area a little less aromatic.....
I think the foil lining is a good idea, or even a foil lined plastic tray inserted in the bottom of it's cage under the water bottle.
Good Luck

Try Chlorox all surface sanitizing spray. It is supposed to be safe for kitchen counters, toys, etc.

I just heard about Chlorox all surface disinfectant spray. Apparently safe for kitchen counters, toys, etc. Sounds like this could be a good addition to your ultimate cleaning plan. I know I plan to get some.
