I'm currently doing an intensive clean of my CN, and it occurred to me to double check with the all-knowing, all-powerful RatShack to make sure I was doing it right.
I started with only warm water and paper towels, but that just isn't efficient enough for one particularly dirty corner (I can hear my girls laughing from beyond the grave at the mess they left that I've somehow managed to find a whole year later when I pulled the CN out). I've heard a lot of people who are completely against Clorox wipes, but I really need to use them for this clean; I don't have any plain baby wipes on hand.
Plus, I feel like any chemicals or fumes or anything left behind by the wipes will have faded by the time there's anyone inhabiting this cage. The plan goes:
Clorox wipe it down
"Rinse" afterwards with damp paper towels and let sit for a day or two
Go back over it with 9 parts water and 1 part bleach (once I can get it into the garage and away from all the carpet)
"Rinse" with damp paper towels
Wait until dry and then start the spray paint process (I'm going glossy white)
Let Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch cure for 2-3 weeks
Does that sound okay? I feel like everything should be fine, especially after that 2-3 weeks where the paint is curing.
Let me know!
