So I do:
1) Pet disinfectant spray - rinse.
2) Wet sponge and washing up liquid - soap it all over and foamy - rinse.
3) 50/50 white vinegar and water (or alternatively leave the cage to air for 2 to 3 weeks if it's not needed).

Can't I use the substance that the vet gave to get rid of the bugs? I had to clean the cage very carefully and it took me 8 hours to clean. The vet said it if it's cleaned badly Bogie will die, but that was a year ago and if I did a bad job with that Bogie would've died earlier.
I'm still cleaning Bogie's cage. I've got 4 trash bags of bedding already and I shouldn't have worried about Bogie's food. He had it pretty much everywhere
