Question about Cloroplast

[shortlilcutie]

Is cloroplast easy to clean? Does the urine stick to it and ruin it? Has anyone had to change their cloro? What should I put on top to protect it if so? Right now I have newspaper and aspen on my bottom level, and towels and fleece on the top level. Is this ok?

I have yet to make my own cage, but I am pretty sure that since all coroplast is is corrugated plastic, it would be as simple as cleaning the bottom of a pet store cage, though much bigger, thank God.

yes that is correct about the cleaning. because it is plastic, the urine doesnt stick to it. just remember to give it a good cleaning with water and vinegar at least once a week.

your way of putting down newspaper and aspen is perfect.

Coroplast is really easy to clean, just wipe it down with vinegar/water mixture. I keep mine in a spray bottle and do it once a week. Depending on the color of your coroplast, it may stain from the bedding. I have used pine, carefresh, newspaper, fleece and towels. Also, the piggies nails will scratch it up a bit and make it rough. But once it's clean and you reline it with the bedding, you can't tell and it lasts forever.

Sounds like you're doing everything just fine! If there are any spots left on the coro, just spray it with the vinegar, let it sit for a good 10 or 15 minutes, and wipe it off. Good as new!
