Cages / Re: Vinegar, bleach, or both?

Also, the cage has a little bit of rust on it (not sure from what) and it's a fairly new cage. The rust is on some of the bars. What should I do about it? (Buying a new cage isn't really an option since this one was expensive and is not a year old yet.)

Thanks for the reply! Before you'd replied I had already cleaned thoroughly with 50/50 vinegar solution with a spray bottle. I also used a sponge after the vinegar was sprayed to scrub and washed it off with water after it soaked. I threw all the items away that the previous chins had used (like food bowls, huts, water bottles, chews, etc) but still have the plastic pans that go on the bottom of the cage. Hope it's okay to use those again (they were cleaned too). Now the cage is airing out outside. Btw I have no idea what the previous chins passed from, but I'm pretty sure it was contagious because they passed within a day or 2 from each other :/

Cages / Vinegar, bleach, or both?

Hi, I'm disinfecting a chinchilla cage that I previously used for different chins (they sadly passed away) and am wondering if I should use vinegar, bleach, or both to disinfect and how much. Thanks
