How do you disinfect a rope perch?

[TwilightsImprint]

Anyone have insight on how to disinfect rope perches? Buttler just died andn I want to disinfect the cage appropriately.

I put mine in the dish washer. If you don't have one, I would throw it away, it's not worth the risk.

Soak it in F10 Biocare and let it dry.

sorry about your loss

I use the steam cleaner on them when I clean the cages and then about every 4 to 6 weeks I run them through the dishwasher

Steam or boiling water would work well. I'm so sorry for your loss.

THank you guys. I'll throw them in the dish washer and hope they dont melt... if they do oh well... I'll get some new ones from someplace. I'll also through the bottom of the cage in there too. Do you use the sanitize heated cycle?

 

[JLcribber]

I wouldn't use the sanitize cycle that is where it will melt. That is the cycle that really cranks the heat.

A standard dishwasher cycle should kill anything. Or you could soak in 10% and then toss it in the washer. It'll kill any coloration they have, but it'll kill the germs too.

I just did mine in the dishwasher earlier this week on the sanitize cycle. I did keep them all on the top rack. Nothing melted, and everything came out beautiful.

I run mine through the dishwasher once a month and use a steam cleaner on them every week It keeps them nice and fresh for the birdies!

I also use my dishwasher like a freak. My husband thinks its gross...hahahaha

Yes use the dishwasher on them..I just actually dishwashed one today and my dishwasher gets insane HOT! No melting.

Do you use detergent or do you just stick them in?
