Cage cleaning

[Hunterjumper]

Is dilute chlorhex ok to clean my chams cage and branches?

Personally I wouldn't...I just know how fragile they are and it seems any little change can kill them. I usually take the cage outside and spray it down really good with just water and let it dry in the sun

Ok thanks for the quick response! Can't go outside yet still to cold in NY ill rinse everything off in the sink

Bleach is very hard to completly wash off with water.
I use 12% peroxide (Amazon.com) in a spray bottle.

It's easy to wash away with hot water and does not leave any traces behind.

Sometimes I just wash off decor in water, let it dry, and then I spray rubbing alcohol on it to kill any remaining microbes. The alcohol quickly evaporates and leaves no residue or residual odor that can harm chams.
