1. **Dilution**: Mix equal parts of water and white vinegar in a spray bottle. This dilution will help reduce the strong smell of vinegar while still being effective in cleaning.
2. **Cage Cleaning**: When cleaning your hedgehog's cage, remove all bedding and items. Use the vinegar solution to wipe down surfaces, including walls, floors, and any accessories. Rinse thoroughly with water afterward to ensure no vinegar residue remains.
3. **Toys and Accessories**: For plastic toys and accessories, soak them in the vinegar solution for about 10-15 minutes, then scrub them with a brush. Rinse them well before returning them to your hedgehog’s environment.
4. **Odor Neutralization**: If your hedgehog's bedding has a lingering odor, sprinkle some baking soda on the bedding before spraying it with the vinegar solution. The combination will help neutralize odors effectively.
5. **Frequency**: Clean your hedgehog’s items regularly, at least once a week, to maintain a healthy environment for your pet.
Remember to always ensure that your hedgehog is not in the area while you are cleaning, and allow items to dry completely before putting them back in their space.
