Dear Wolfy, this is Susie Lee with The Ferret & Dove Sanctuary, Inc., in Pensacola, Florida. Ferret clean-up time, for us, is generally after all the 60-ish ferrets have had their out-and-about times, near to the end of each day. We lucked out from when we first got our house because it's got terrazzo floors (under the now-discarded carpet and linoleum...better flooring than each of those!) that are like one huge slab of polished stone tile without the tile-grooves to have to clean between. So we use a sprayer-bottle with a watered down solution of Odo-Ban and disposable paper towels to get the "deposits", and then Wes will use and industrial mopping bucket (that we got from Sam's Club) to mop all the polished stone floors. You'd really like the Odo-Ban, for one thing, it's *not* Rene Aberjunois playing a character from "Deep Space Nine" (grin!), but made from items safe for all the critters, which is our main concern when using anything around the furreds' and feathereds', here...and for another it not only smells great but really, truly does give most odors the ol' smackeroo with natural fragrances and anti-mold, anti-bacterial chemical thing-a-ma-roonie ingredients to naturally combat odors. We used to get Chlorhexedrine from one of the veterinarians' offices, but can't afford that, any longer, but that's another really good one; Chlorhexedrine is safe for all animals and can be used on any surface. The veterinarian offices get it by the gallon and if you ask them, they might be able to order and sell you a gallon of it which, for any ferret shelter would last about a month, and for private owners such as yourself with less than 30 ferrets could likely last at least several months so that in everything it could be used for, it would "pay" for itself.
