Egluntyne Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 There are plenty of "pet safe" disinfectants available at any reliable petshop, Debbie......I'd stick to one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyren Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I use Milton Fluid - I figured if it was mild enough for babies and even cats (who are sensitive to most chemicals) it's probably OK for chickens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I use a little squirt of ecover washing up liquid, with a good rinse with the hosepipe - smells lovely too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I use ecover w/up liquid for a major cleanout but just a pet bird spray from Pets At Home for a mini-clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janty Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I soak the roosting bars in dettol to clean them. Then I rinse them thoroughly in fresh water and allow them to dry out in the shed for a week ( we have two sets for each cube). I have never had any problems with it.
