Step 1
Gather all cleaning supplies (see the list below).

Step 2
Gently remove the hamster from its cage. Put it in an enclosed container or a hamster ball to ensure it doesn't run loose.

Remove the top of the hamster's cage, the water bottle and the food bowl. Clean all with a safe cleaner and spray clean with lots of water.

Empty the used hamster bedding into a trash bag and discard.

Step 6
Dry all parts of the cage with a towel.
-
Step 7
Assemble all parts of the cage that you previously removed for cleaning.

Put in clean bedding. Provide enough bedding for the hamster to burrow.

Step 9
Fill the water bottle and food bowl and place them back into the cage.

Step 10
Release the hamster back into its cage and secure the top of the cage.
