Cleaning Cages

[ChameleonRave]

Well I was doing Darwin's reg. spot cleaning today and I noticed there is a lot of calcium from the water left on the frame of the cage. How do I get it off? I'm honestly a clean/neat freak and I have to have everything almost perfect. So anyone have any tips?

Depends what the cage is made of, should just wipe off aluminium or plastic, if its wood (laquered/varnished) the same, raw wood and your likely stuck with it mate, unless you sand it off. *shrugs*

I'd try vinegar.

Thats great news I was wondering the same thing, I am going to go the vinegar route. I just cleaned cages this morning, I really like the paper towel idea placed on the bottom of the cage floor of course, but that can be a pain in the rear because my potted plants (the big ones are hard to move but I got it done to say the least!)

lemon juice works as well, and i find mixing the vinegar with Hot water help too..
