Vacuum plant debris off cage floor. Ask greenhouse staff for the Green Shield. Attach the bottle to the hose in the house with the cage.
If cleaning a cage on an ebb and flood bench, remove drainage tube from fertilizer tank. See bench cleaning protocol.
Spray Green Shield over the cage floor. Allow to soak and use a brush to clean if necessary.
Rinse cage thoroughly and allow to dry on the bench. Place drainage tube back in fertilizer tank.
Return all cleaning materials (Green Shield, brushes, etc.) to the location you got them from.
When cage is completely dry, disassemble the pieces. Use masking tape to hold all pieces from individual cages together.
Return cage cover to a blue container labeled on the outside with the appropriate cage size on the cabinet in the lab and the bundled PVC pieces next to the blue containers.
