Washing with vinegar?

[LionBunnies]

Hi!

If I wanna make a room neutral for my rabbits, can I use white vinegar to clean the room?

Or should I just use soap?

My living room isn't as neutral as it should be (I'm trying to bond my rabbits, so I need the living room to be neutral).

I use vinegar to clean and to get rid of stains. For the real tough stains, I use straight vinegar and a stiff brush.

a ten per cent solution of vinegar is good for cleaning up areas that have been urinated on--the vinegar covers over the ammonia smell of the urine. Have used it successfully with canines. Don't really know about bunnies though, but don't think soap would be the answer either unless you really do a good job of rinsing after.

Ok

But no rabbits have urinated on the carpet or anything, but they've marked the territory with their chins.

There's nothing you could do about that. Every time you take them into the room, the first thing they will do is chin everything in sight. :biggrin2:

Hehe, yeah, I know

I'm not going to allow them to jump around in the living room, because they are going to live there together when they are bonded.
So the living room has to be a neutral room.

So I have to clean the whole room and eliminate all "rabbitscents" to make the living room a neutral room again

So I was wondering if I could use vinegar to eliminate the scent? x)

I have a bottle of vinegar sitting down in our family room just for when Muppet runs around down there. She pees in every single corner and I just follow behind pouring a little bit out here and there. Get's rid of it right away!

I love vinegar for cleaning

Yes, vinegar would work well.

We use vineagar for the doe's cage bottoms , then wipe it down with a little water to get rid of the odor - - generally we put the buns right back in after cleaning, and don't want the vineagar smell to be too overwhelming.

OK
I'll use vinegar then.

Thanks for your answers!
