Hi,
How often should one clean out a house? I installed my first last Autumn (2019), but wasn’t aware it was in use until about Feb this year (2020). My first resident used it for several weeks, then abandoned it once the weather became warmer. I then cleaned it, replacing with fresh bedding. Over the summer it was used very occasionally, but we now have a new ‘resident’ who’s put a lot of effort into bringing in extra bedding. Can I assume it shouldn’t now be cleaned out until next spring? Is once a year enough? And when I do clean it, is it okay to use washing up liquid? I rinse with plenty of fresh water afterwards and allow to dry naturally before adding new bedding.
