I need to wash my cages and I am thinking of taking them on a trailer to a self-serve car wash. The weather out here is still warm enough in the daytime for such activity but I don't want to do it at home with a hose. I would like to know others' experiences with this. I have Ferret Nation cages with the hammered finish paint and Quality Cages with galvanized wire. Does the detergent harm anything and what about the pressure perhaps peeling off the paint? Thanks in advance for any advice. Carol J. Owens Ferret Friends, Inc. Tucson AZ ( Just 100 miles from next year's symposium! ) [Posted in FML 6906]
