Bunny died from infection. Can I use cage for another rabbit?

Hello,

My dear bunny lop recently died from infection. I think he was a happy kid and my gf was with him, hence, he wasn't alone during his last moments. Now we want to adopt another bunny. But what should we do with our cage? We cleaned and washed and etc. it but some of our friends say that it is not enough because disease could still be lurking there. Should we buy a new cage or can we use the old one?

Thanks for advice.
 
The first thing I would want to know before adopting another rabbit is what infection my rabbit died from. Eg was he vaccinated against myxi and VHD, how long was he ill and what did the vet said was wrong with him?
