Junior Guinea Pig
My piggies are all indoor in my living room, trouble is no matter hoe much I clean the cages my room stinks! What can I do to get rid of the smell? Thanks.
I add vinegar to the wash when washing the fleece but sometimes I have forgotten and just used washing liquid and I find it makes no difference really as the fleece still comes out smelling clean but I wash in hot water (cold rinse) aswell to kill the germs if their are any. Getting rid of the piggie fur off the fleece though is a losing battle lol.I don't have a fleece set-up in my piggies cage, but i've seen other comments from people on this forum that said their fleece bedding smelled even after washing.
And then other owners using fleece suggested they put vinegar in the softener compartment of the washing machine while washing it and that seemed to work.
Does that sound worth trying? Can other owners that use fleece confirm if that may help?
OH MY GOODNESS this is so true ! Mine always come it in little white hairs !I add vinegar to the wash when washing the fleece but sometimes I have forgotten and just used washing liquid and I find it makes no difference really as the fleece still comes out smelling clean but I wash in hot water (cold rinse) aswell to kill the germs if their are any.

Iv'e got two tortoiseshell (I spell checked but still doesn't look right) piggies and the fleece always comes out with white, black and tan furs. Can't win no matter what colour the fleece is lol.OH MY GOODNESS this is so true ! Mine always come it in little white hairs !
