jakeyjangels Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Evening all. We have purchased a 2nd hand dog crate in preparation for the arrival of our Lab puppy in 3 weeks. Even though it is in great condition I would still like to clean/sterilise it myself before Louis's arrival . Can anyone give me any ideas on what I should clean it to remove any germs /smells . I read of a product on one of the forums here that vets use to sterilise after parvo etc but can't find the name/post on here now. It is a galvanised steel crate (not plastic coated wire). Thanks in advance & apologise if this is a repeat post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ams Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 If you have nothing else then bleach will work. If you are in Brissy and would like a small quantity of VirkonS to clean the cage with just let me know and pm me your addy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisovar Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Bleach, VirkonS or F10, and a few days in the sunshine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayrod Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 If possible, try deep immersion in your disinfectant, in this way all components are subjected to the disinfectant, there can not be an area that has been missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
