What do you use to clean/disinfect your pacman's home when doing a total clean out?

10% bleach 90% water and rinse rinse rinse. then make sure all smell is gone. easiest way for me is to scrub down the instide with the bleach solution, rinse it, then soak it in water inside the tub for a bit then empty it. wipe it down with a rag. then it should be perfect.

I agree with mrzoggs on rinsing cage with 1:10 bleach solution, but you can also spray it with vinegar after bleach, and then rinse the cage completely with water until you can smell neither the vinegar and/or bleach.

very very hot water will also turn any remaining bleach into vapor, so rinse with hot water.

There is a safer product than bleach. I use it and it works great. ZOO Med Wipe Out 1. Just rinse out the tank after you remove the substrate. Spray the tank down with Wipe Out 1 and let it stand for 5 to 10 minutes then just wipe down the tank with paper towels and make sure the fumes are aired out. No rinse after using the Wipe Out. Completely disinfect without needing to make a mess.

GriftheGreat is spot on.
wipe out is a really good product and they also have mite off that works like a charm if you have a mite problem in your cage. its a little more expensive but takes away the labor of rinsing with hot water. the only things i disinfect in the cage with a bleach ratio is the water bowls.
