Hi, all, sorry this might seem like a really thick question but what i am refering to is the cleaner itself. In our home we use dettol and flash multicleaner with frebreeze, can i use these in the eglu? do i have to buy anything specialist or is there something avaliable in Asda Etc? thanks in adavance

You can use something fairly mild like Ecover from supermarkets. However, the best thing in my opinion to clean it with is Poultry shield, as this protects against red mite

thanks space chick, where do you buy that from? xxx

Have a look here on ebay, as this will give you an idea of what it looks like, your choice whether you buy it there or not

Hi

I remove all bedding and wash the eglu with warm soapy water with Ecover in it. Buy ecover from any supermarket in the washing up aisle. When its dry, i then spray it until its drenched with poultry shield. It is quite expensive but condensed so it lasts and lasts, it goes on forever! Dilute it into one of those cheap garden sprayers, If possible let it dry rather than wipe it dry. Dont forget to spray the roosting bars and nest box divider and roof too.

This gives it a really good protective shield against any mites etc. It is the best thing on the market in my opinion too.

Hope this helps

thanks chickenwiggle, do you hose it down after you have sprayed the shield on or just leave to dry? what you are doing is what i am planning exactly, i went and bought ecover, a garden sprayer and a new washing up bowl, just for the chickens!!! need to get hold of the poultry shield now!!! xx

It is best if you can leave it to dry

 

Plus leaving the house open to dry in the sun is good cos the natural UV light helps kill nasties too
