Cage donated by friend- how to disinfect!!!

[Pika<3]

Hello,
I recently was given a bigger nicer cage for my dear Pikachu from a friend at work. They had a chinchilla for about a year that sadly passed away recently and gave me all their belongings, toys, and a bigger cage for free. It is wire sides that lock into a tower shape, w a plastic bottom that sits in a stand w wheels, and a plastic top, about 4-5 ft tall.
I wasn't sure how to clean the cage exactly before changing it into a bigger home for my Pikachu. I guess I was just worried since it was another chinchillas cage before and since they died I didn't know how to thoroughly clean/disinfect it for my chinchilla.
Please let me know of any suggestions.. Soap n water, alcohol, bleach?? Also there are big wood ladders they gave me that fit in the cage but have had some chew marks from their chinchilla.. Is there a way to bake these to clean them or do I just need to throw them out?
Thanks so much in advance, want my Pikachu to have a bigger home but don't want him to "catch anything" from the old chinchilla inhabitant. :facepalm:

soap (I would stick with dawn or other animal-safe soaps) and water and a LOT of scrubbing and then a hydrogen peroxide rinse, followed by a water rinse is what I would do for the cage. the soap&water should clean dirt and a lot of crap off of it, then hydrogen peroxide should kill anything else, but wont be too dangerous to your chin like bleach could be. (I'd still do all this out of the chins room to save them from the smell of whatever you use.) I lean towards hydrogen peroxide or vinegar for cleaning anything chin-related. I would think you could disinfect the wood with the same stuff and then air drying it but I haven't done it before to disinfect new things, just to clean up where Yuki peed on his shelf on top of hay. I would think that'd change the wood's "taste" so maybe someone will come up with a better plan.

I always use a 50/50 Distilled vinegar/water solution.

Using chemicals can leave residue or sent, (or worse if not thoroughly rinsed) that can aggravate a chinchilla. The vinegar is a great thing to use when cleaning there stuff. I use it on there trays and there fleece.
