With the holidays and house cleaning going on i get the question of whats safe all the time. People are often but it says green or safe..........in my house (and my parents aviary where they raised thousands of parrots over the years) we make our own cleaners, cage sprays, ouch salve, wellness foot salve (dad went into raptor rescue one year with bumble foot eagles) and featger mists.
Here is my recipe for cage cleaner and i use it on floors and anything that needs cleaning on the downstairs where my macaw is.
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup water
10 drops of lavendar and lemon 100% essential oil.
Note on essential oils, only use 100% tested safe oils. I use doterra and young living. Oils arent regulated like many products and fraangrance oils are often mixed with all sorts of things.
I spray this and let sit then whipe after a few minutes, on cage i wipe with a wipe that has grapeseed extract and water only.
For cleaner or air freshener, with no vinegar:
1/4 cup water
10 drops wild orange essential oil
4 drops frankinsense OR grapefruit essential oil
I also buy brown, blue or green glass sprayer bottles often with pba free sprayers.
Safe and happy holidays all.
