Guinea Pig cages have to be cleaned every once a week. You have to first clean the whole cage with pure water including the walls and the floor. After cleaning the cage with water you must disinfect with a spray bottle. You have to mix 90% water and 10% chlorine that are used for swimming pools. Spray the whole cage and leave for 1 hour to dry before bringing the guinea pigs inside. Repeat this minimum 2 times a week.
