First thing each morning, we're greeted by a variety of residues from the prior
evening's suggie food
fights. Cage & Toy Shield
provides a non-stick
coating to ease our daily cleanings. Let's face it - as adorable as
our lovable fuzzbutts may be - they're not exactly known for their
eloquent eating etiquette!
Cage & Toy Shield is a non-toxic, plant-based,
biodegradable product that prevents splattered food, excrements and any
other messy droppings your gliders offer up from adhering to any surface.
As it is 100% safe, it can be used on any surface you want to keep clean. Use it on cages, toys, food cups,
floors - anything you want to have a protective, easy to clean surface to work with. Not only does it provide a non-stick
(but not greasy or oily) surface to make
cleanups a snap, but it also helps prevent both cage corrosion AND bacteria
buildup!
Over time, your sugar glider's environment (toys,
cage, food cups, etc. - anywhere you spray the product) stays
healthier longer when you use Cage & Toy Shield because
this product helps prevent bacteria from feeding. In
short, you will have peace of mind about the cleanliness of your
glider's habitat AND your cleanings will be quick and easy. Cage & Toy
Shield will stop those gooey foods, like baby food, yogurt and BML from becoming rock hard splatters that
are so time consuming to scrape off! In addition to using it around the feeding stations, we
also use it on toys.
With Arnold’s cage situated in front of a natural wood wall, our
crazy gang often throws food outside of the cage, splattering sticky
messes all over the wall. But using Cage & Toy Shield on the wood walls, we can just wipe and go. No more
time consuming or complicated rituals to remove gooey messes!
And cleanup is a real cinch on wood or laminate surfaces.
When we learned last year that KAYTEE
Cage
Shield would no longer be manufactured, we were bummed. We sold it AND used it daily here in The Sugar Shack.
Disappointed there was nothing similar available on the market, we
decided to take matters into out own hands. But rather than just
re-invent the Wodent Wheel, so to speak, we wanted to create something even better!
So we
met with our team of specialized experts in the plant-based world to
see what we could come up with. We kept returning to the drawing board with
different concepts
and formulations until we got it just right.
The resulting product is, in our
opinion, the most innovative solution for pet habitat maintenance on the market today.
Cage & Toy Shield is part of our new Sugar Glider Naturals™ line
of plant-based products. For more information on
this natural product line, including the kinds of ingredients we use and do not
use in these products, see About Sugar
Glider Naturals.
Our testing process was quite rigorous. After thoroughly
cleaning and drying the cage, we sprayed the product on the cage bars & pan, toys and food cups. As it is
completely non-toxic, even feeding cups can be sprayed to prevent
food from sticking and bacteria from building up. From
there, we went on to aggressively splatter enormous amounts of apple
sauce, baby food and yogurt on the cage. It was fun playing the role of
sugar gliders and getting to have our own food fights, for a change!
We moved it outside under the hot Florida sun to let all the goop
bake on for 24 hours. When we returned to the cage, the applesauce
had mostly slid right off, but the
tiny amount left wiped away easily with a dry wipe (no
pressure required). The baby food, normally very difficult
to remove, mostly came off with a dry wipe; and a dampened wipe
easily removed the rest. The yogurt didn't stick at all - it
actually trickled right down the side of the cage. After a
quick and easy cleanup, we once again were left with a gleaming
habitat.
For 7 days, we followed the same aggressive splattering process, leaving the
cage out under the baking sun around the clock. And each day,
cleanup was quick and easy - 3 minutes tops! And while the gleaming finish
felt slightly slick, it never had an oily or greasy
coating. Getting this properly formulated in the lab required
a LOT of tweaking because we weren't about to allow our sugar gliders
to feel like
"sugar sliders" on coated areas!
Here at SunCoast, we're also using it on food bowls and toys for
all our other pets too. It even works great on kitchen
backsplashes, bathroom tile and sinks all over the house!
After all, less time housecleaning leaves more time for bonding and playing with
those suggies! YAY!!!
Directions:
This product should only be used on a clean surface. So if your
suggie habitat / toys / food cups, etc. have missed some cleanings, be sure to clean them well first.
Remove all stuck-on goops, oops and poops from the troops first!
Once surfaces are clean, shake the Cage & Toy Shield bottle well
and spray over all target surfaces you wish to protect. When
spraying areas on the cage where your gliders create heavy soiling
(for example, near food cups) you may want to spray the bars all the
way to the bottom of cage since soil will tend to slide down the
cage bars and stick to unprotected areas underneath the target area.
The product will last 5 - 7 cleanings, depending on how wet the
soiled surfaces get. You can tell when it's time to re-apply
because surfaces will become noticeably more difficult to wipe grime
from. Once
you start using this product, you will be amazed at how quick and
easy your cleanings will be! In general, this cleaning process should not take more than a couple of
minutes.
Your "weekly cleaning" will require a cleanup with your
current cleaner. You should find this full cleaning noticeably
quicker after using this product. Once all areas to be treated are clean and dry, shake the Cage & Toy Shield
bottle well, and lightly spray on target surfaces.
Cage & Toy Shield also provides an anti-corrosive barrier, so using
it regularly means less concern about the cage finishes breaking
down over time. This product should be stored where the
temperature does not exceed 80 degrees Fahrenheit for long periods
of time.
Why Plant Extracts?
Sugar Glider Naturals™ Cage & Toy Shield is a new
approach to cleanliness. Our proprietary blend of non-toxic,
naturally occurring plant extracts leaves you with polished
surfaces that actually deflect grime. Cage & Toy Shield
protects and
sterilizes the surface by starving the food harmful bacteria feeds
on, and also inhibits corrosion. Completely safe for
all, it protects the health of you, your pets and the
environment. This product is free from carcinogens, chemicals,
artificial fragrances and nauseous fumes. Those with
allergies, chemical and / or respiratory sensitivities can use it
with no issues. It's just a better way to maintain a cleaner
habitat.
Enjoy your extra down time away from cleaning!
