Hi everyone, my name is Sandy and I have had my 3 month old black Syrian for a week now. I have to work with a relatively small budget so I got his cage (100x50x50) and most things inside the cage so far used as well.

I bought a secondhand wooden wheel, the base is urine stained and after disinfectant and deodorizer, soap and hot water (wash, not soak), and some light filing, the smell is still clearly there.

I thought about trying vinegar next (how?), would anyone have any tips on how to clean used wooden items for new/different hamsters?
Are there any items I should not buy used?
