It can be hazardous working with bleach (which can burn your skin) so vinegar and water is actually a safer alternative than using bleach and water, which is what pet stores use. This is probably easier to do in your bathtub. Clean out any hamster debris or wood shavings with soap and water. Empty the water. Mix about two tablespoons vinegar to a quart (32 oz.) of water and scrub the sides and bottom well with this. Leave it on for about 15 minutes and then rinse it out thoroughly. You should at this point let the tank air dry, but you can also fill it with water for your fish if you think you've got most of the vinegar out. It's most important for you to get the soap out because detergent is what harms fish the most. When filling the water for your fish make sure you add the water drops that remove the chlorine from the tap water you fill the tank with, even if you use a pump with charcoal.

washed with vinegar D: weird... well fish tanks are easy to clean. Get a hose and blast all the dust and scum off first. As long as the glass looks clean to you, you don't have to scrub it over. Ok now fill the whole tank with water and add about a teaspoon of bleach per 10 gallons so for yours 2 teaspoons. The bleach will kill off any old bacteria and mold that's too small to see. You can try the vinegar thing, but I hear that it does something to the sealing silicone... so I wouldn't try. Just make sure not to use any soaps and you should be fine. Oh forgot! You have to be careful with the bleach, I recommend filling it up with water after dumping the bleach and water out and letting it dry. Add 2 teaspoons of water conditioner and let it sit.
First of all, look at the condition of the silicone glue that holds the glass panes together. If it scratched up, you'll need to buy some silicone aquarium sealant, or it may leak or develop a leak later. Hamsters tend to scratch and nibble on aquarium sealant.





If he had a wheel and/or toys, he might not have done any damage. Fill it up outside to make sure it doesn't leak.





Clean it simply by filling it up, scrubbing the sides with a cloth, and letting it sit overnight. As long as you didn't use soap or harsh cleaning chemicals, this is all that is needed.
you can use viniger to clean it, or non chlorine bleach, or non iodized salt, in either case rinse it out extremely thouroghly and bee careful never to get any soap in it , if you already did, rinse it out even more and with NON iodized salt, ';iodine kills fish';, if it needs scrubbing get a brand new bad, not one from the floor or sink, And some hot water
