My piggies cage is in my room. Well ventilated. I use carefresh odor bedding, and have a hepa air filter as well.

Would it be okay to have a baking soda box open somewhere around the cage area to prevent odor? I read that on another piggie forum, but want to make sure its safe x

Do you clean it weekly with pet safe bleach?

Yes. I hate the way Carefresh smells. But it does its job well so I keep using it. I mix it with Aspen shavings which smell better but need the wet spots scooped out very often. Anyone know a Carefresh-like product that smells better?

Wood pellets are the absolute best at odor control. I change mine about once every four months, and the cage never smells unless I leave peed-on hay in there too long.
