Keeping your guinea pig’s home clean is essential for their health and happiness—but you don’t need harsh chemicals to do it! A simple, homemade cleaning solution made from just distilled white vinegar and water is non-toxic, safe, and surprisingly effective.

This 50/50 vinegar-and-water mixture deodorizes, breaks down urine and food stains, and can be used on your coroplast base, accessories, and other cage surfaces. Plus, it’s gentle enough that your piggies won’t be harmed by lingering fumes—just remember to rinse and air-dry completely before returning them to their home.
