What kind of cleaning solutions can I safely use on quail cages/ water dispensers/ food dispensers/ etc?

Vinegar and baking soda are both non-toxic--apple cider vinegar has several health benefits and baking soda is used in electrolytes. I wouldn't run it through the dishwasher, though.

I use a dilute bleach on my really dirty feeders and waterers. Use a scrub brush, then rinse them in fresh water, let dry. Works well for me. I'm not chemically sensitive, if you are use protective equipment.

Half a cup of vinegar (regular white) for every gallon of water, back when we had parakeets. Then we let it dry completely because rust is bad.
