Washing fleece liners?

[Potato_Lover]

I have read that you should try to use a detergent for sensitive skin to wash the fleece cage liners. I have been unable to find sensitive detergent so am I okay to use a normal non-bio detergent so long as it doesn't smell all perfumey and flowery?

I think that's what many people do. Because I'm sensitive to perfume myself, I don't use the perfumed non bio liquid, I use the fragrance free, ecover fragrance free or surcare. Buying huge bottles and not using too much in the machine, seems to be as economical.

I use Lidl non-bio for my piggy stuff. Here is our guide A Detailed Guide For Fleece Bedding that tells you everything you need to know.

I use Tesco non bio powder and it works well.

Morrison’s do a pure liquid detergent ideal for sensitive skins. It’s reasonably price too called Kind and Gentle £1.60

I think most importantly is to use a very small amount. Learned that back when I used to cloth diaper.

I use an unscented liquid, probably only a tablespoon or two, and then fill the bleach compartment with vinegar.

I use Ecover non_bio and Dettol laundry rinse in the softener compartment.

Not sure if you have it in the UK, but I use All Free and Clear detergent pods. It's free of any dyes and perfumes. I add a splash of vinegar to the load.

I don't think we do get that particular one but after a quick search there's lots that are similar.

I use Omo Sensitive laundry powder (don't know if you can get it in the UK) and vinegar as a softener

We use coop non-bio liquid. It's cruelty free and contains no animal products, it is lightly scented but we use a small amount, rinse with vinegar and run an extra rinse cycle on the washer. One of our skinny pigs has temperamental skin and it works fine for her.
