Cleaning hamster toys
Hello,
I am going to pick up some hamster items from someone on Gumtree. It includes an Ikea Detolf, a carrier, a wheel, two flying saucers and some other toys.
I was just wondering how I should sanitise the toys, carriers, wheels, etc? I will also clean the cage however I am not going to be using that yet. I've heard different ways of cleaning them. Some people use pet safe disinfectant and water, or white vinegar and water or just soap and water. I think I would prefer to use pet safe disinfectant and water then wash it out again afterwards but I wanted to know what other people thought.
Thank you for your help!

Re: Cleaning hamster toys
I use unscented pet safe disinfectant & rinse well afterwards for most things, plastic, ceramic, non porous surfaces, wood can be difficult if not impossible to totally sanitise tbh.
You can also use baby sterilising tablets but I haven't used them myself.

Re: Cleaning hamster toys
Thank you cypher!
I think I will use pet safe disinfectant and not use any wood toys.
Which unscented disinfectants do you use?

Re: Cleaning hamster toys
I use Safe4, it's very good & you don't even need to rinse it although I usually do.

Re: Cleaning hamster toys
Thank you, I will definitely be buying that. Is there a disinfectant I can buy in a shop for the time being as well because I can only find Safe4 online?

Re: Cleaning hamster toys
There are others but it's been years since I used anything else so I really can't remember what they are, sorry! Hopefully someone else will have some suggestions.
