Cleaning a rope perch

[CoriDJ]

This is good information. Have a new bird coming and we already use F10 for my Chameleons. So at least we will be ready in that department.

I personally use undiluted hydrogen peroxide on my rope perches. I dislike any chemical remnants on fabric that so close to feet and faces.

I spray liberally. Then spray some more. Take a toothbrush (an old one unless Mr. Sparkles is being a turd, ha!) to anything still cemented to the fibers. Spray more H202 on it. Let it sit and neutralize- basically I walk away only to return when I remember. Then I twist the rope in the direction of its warping to throughly wring out the leftover water. Hang it over the shower rod to dry.

These days I wrap my ropes in vet wrap though. Cause one of the stinkers occasionally tries to eat them.

I have a different process for consideration.

I have this grill brush with a sharp-ish flat metal side with a bit of curvey point edge on the sides. Anyway I use the flat edge to get the bigger stuff off, the side to get into the twisty bits, and then brush with the strand direction. Then I put them in the washer and dryer. I never wipe or try to clean anything while wet or damp, because it seems to just smear into the strands.

I'm mostly happy with the results. I can't be as rough with the sisal ones, but the cotton holds up well to the wire brush abuse.
