I change the papers in their cages and wash their dishes daily then once a week I clean everything in their cages with a 1part bleach to 10 parts water solution. as for the cage itsself I also clean it about every 10 days I use a steamer for that the steam also sanitizes ands disolves the poop very quickly and easily and l then I just wipe it down and its done. with 7 birds. I just throw all perches and grates in the bathtub 1 a week let them soak for about 10 minates in very hot bleach and water solution and then hose them off with the shower massage on pulsate its gets thins clean very quickly. I not the kind of person that likes to scrub so a good soak in very hot water does the scrubbing for me.

I change papers, wash bowls, perches and swings daily. I will vacuum as much crumbs stuck to the cage as Im vacuuming under the cage daily aswell. Then once a week I take the cages outside, usually on the weekend, scrub them down with hot water, then throw a bucket of hot water over them to get rid of any bits still stuck. The grate and bottom of the cage I throw in the bath or laundry sink to scrub with bleach and hot water. (its the most messy part of the cage and pain in the butt to clean!).
