QUESTION:
Hello. Our ferrets have their own room to play in and
I was wondering what is the best way to clean this
room and what is the safest things to use in cleaning.
Thanks for your help.
ANSWER:
You didn't say what was covering the floor, so I will
address several floor coverings that you may have and
how to clean them!
LINOLEUM or TILE can
be cleaned with several products:
- Part
bleach to 10 parts water, you will need to
remove the ferrets and open windows to air
out!
- Soap, water and some
white vinegar.
- NOLVASAN
diluted per instructions
I use Nolvasan, as it kills,
bacteria, viruses, just about everything, you only
use a small amount in a gallon of water, so it lasts.
It is sold on my site.
CARPETS: They are a real problem!!!
It is really difficult to remove the 'musky' odor
of the ferret, you can try with the Nolvasan, in
a spray, but remove the ferrets and wear a mask,
it does irritate the mucous membranes if sprayed
on. If you have to clean up urine and feces: 1
PART VINEGAR + 2 PARTS CLUB SODA, it helps but
it would be better to remove the carpet!!!
WOOD: Use the Nolvasan diluted,
wash, change water and wash again and then rinse,
that should do it!
Make sure with ALL surfaces, that you try a little
of your cleaning solution to make sure it does not
damage or remove color, especially if you are renting.
Hope this helps, thanks for asking.
