You really don't need to use vinegar & it's quite hard to remove the smell afterwards so I wouldn't recommend it.
I only clean wheels once a week with just water, if you really feel the need to clean more often a wipe with damp paper towel as Razor suggested is fine, I wouldn't worry about it though, they like their wheels that way & it doesn't do any harm to leave them a while before cleaning.
Toys rarely need cleaning unless they get peed on, water is more than enough usually if they do need a bit of a clean.
I haven't cleaned the toys.I haven't cleaned them in 7 months.She hasn't peed on the toys and I didn't want to remove the scent.I clean the wheels every 2 to 3 days as Hope always pees on them and it makes my room smell.I am going to use vinegar less on them.I also clean her house every day but mostly just with water.Thanks🙂
