Deep clean your guinea pigs’ home at least once a week. Spot-clean soiled areas every day.
According to the RSPCA, a guinea pig home needs at least one deep clean a week on average, with daily spot-cleaning in between. The smaller the cage and the more animals, the more often. Guinea pigs are sensitive to damp, dirty bedding.
- Move the guinea pigs to a safe pen or box for a while
- Remove all bedding
- Clean the floor with a pet-safe cleaner and let it dry
- Put back fresh bedding and hay
