Hi all,

When it comes to cleaning Cosmo's cage, i make sure its immaculate by disinfecting it and drying it throughly prior to laying bedding down.

When i'm cleaning it, should i be wearing gloves or anything?
What the best way to empty out all of the old bedding without inhaling all of the dust? If there is a good way anyone can recommend: i'd really appreciate it.

Thanks for you help in advance.

I've got dust masks I got from wilkinsons diy section - I use them when I do the hay too :) you don't need to worry too much about germs if you only have one rabbit - just a wash with soapy water will do - I dry mine with flannels followed by kitchen roll. You can use white vinegar to get rid of stains I believe. On my piggie cages I use a cleaning mix in a plant spray bottle (from wilkinsons garden section!) - 1 part bleach to 9 parts water - this is left to soak 15mins and kills most germs and spores :)
