Question How to clean hamster toys?

My hamster died on Wednesday morning from old age and I might get another one this week. I have the igloo house, food bowl, hamster wheel and I threw away the water bottle. I cleaned the aquarium with bleach and hot water and rinsed it. How should I clean the house, food bowl and wheel?

I'd say very hot soapy water would do the trick. I'm sorry about your hammy passing away.

I'm sorry to hear about your hamster. I've recently lost my girl too so I've been cleaning her toys ready for a future hamster should I decide to get one.

I've washed everything in hot soapy water (I just used dish soap) and left it to dry. Although I know my girl's illness wasn't infectious I will also use a pet safe disinfectant on everything. Her hammocks, taming gloves and play blanket have gone into the washing machine.
