What cleaners should I use to disinfect a cat cage for my kitten?

Question

I was keeping a stray in my large cage before getting him neutered, I want to bring it back into my room for my kitten, she's in a cage that's really small and I'd like to put her back in the big one. I need to know how to properly clean it. What cleaners should I use? She's getting her vaccines in 2 weeks and I want her to stay clean in case the cat had any diseases. I know my area has a lot of diseases in the sand. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 16 days old | 0.2 lbs

Hello. You can never go wrong with dilute bleach. One (1) part bleach to nine (9) parts water is effective for just about all viruses & bacteria. Wipe the entire cage down with the dilute bleach, let things sit for about 5-10 minutes & then just wipe dry. No need to rinse. Either replace the litter box with a new one or soak it in the bleach water along with all bowls & dishes. The dishes should be rinsed with water before drying. New bedding will kept your kitten healthy & safe. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
