Hi everyone,
I'm looking for suggestions on how to speed up cleaning my cage. Currently there's a kitchen area (the large coroplast one from the cages store), and it's lined with Carefresh. The rest of the cage is fleece. I usually just shake out the fleece, but it takes me longer than I'd like. I was considering switching to a handheld vacuum or shop vac to clean up those areas- have ya'll found that to be faster?
Also, I'm not really sure how to tackle the kitchen- this is primarily where they urinate, and the bedding here needs to be cleaned out very frequently. Do you guys also use a vacuum to pick up dirty Carefresh? I find spot cleaning it with a dustpan is messy and takes a while, but if I let it go even one day without spot cleaning, it becomes a smelly disaster area that's soaked through with urine.
Any suggestions or advice would be most welcome! I've had guinea pigs for many years, but I'm so busy lately that I'd like to find a way to streamline the cleaning process.
