Surfing around on guinea pig sites I found some advice on fleece. The article says to wash towels and fleece with chlorine bleach to combat bacterial build up. Is this something you do?
One of the reasons I do fleece is because I don't have access to a compost and don't want to create a lot of waste. Washing and reusing was more environmentally friendly, but half a cup of chlorine bleach each time just erases any environmental gains in my thinking... Sure, if the stuff smelled or if a piggy was sick it could be done, but every time?
I wash towels at 60 and fleece and vetbed at 40. The things look clean and don't smell... Could there still be bacteria in the fabric?
