How Should I Go About Cleaning My Suggies Cage?

               ** This is not necessarily the right way, nor the wrong way, but this how I clean my Suggies cage.

        Every other, to every day, I vacuum around his cage and under his cage. Once to twice a month I wash his hammock and blanket. 
        Now, here is where it gets a little annoying... Once a week (AT THE LEAST) I change the newspaper in the bottom of his tray as well as wash the bottom tray and holder outside with a water hose and Dawn dish soap. (Because it's animal safe) Once every two weeks (AT THE LEAST) I take the actual cage part outside and clean it with a water hose and Dawn dish soap. 
       Most cages come apart so it's really easy to clean them. It probably takes me about 20 minutes to clean his entire cage and about 30 minutes to let it dry in the sun, for the sake of laundry! 

      When it comes to his toys, I wash his stacking cups and PCP pipe about every four days unless they get really nasty. Always remember that whatever you put at the bottom of the cage will ALWAYS be the dirtiest! This is why you should have hanging food cups! (you can get a set of 2 for about $1.50 at Petsmart) 

**Food Cups Should Be Washed Every Day!!!!!!
