Washing Temperature For Ready-made Cage Liners

[Dorothy&Coco]

We have cage liners from Hammocky Hammocks (which are lovely by the way). The instructions say to wash at 30 degrees but I am worried this is too low as lots of threads on here say people wash fleece at 60.

What temperature do people use for ready made liners? If I wash at 60 will they shrink?

I am using Halo sports wash (non bio) with vinegar in the softener draw.

30 degrees do's seem a bit low! Perhaps try some f 10 sanertizin tablets or fluid and pre wash (soak ) them in a bucket

It always states on all fleece liners to was at 30 or 40 degrees, but they do really need to be washed at 60 degrees, to get rid of the bacteria. If they are washed too low it could lead to a UTI in piggies.

I have not bought any ready made ones as I make my own.. always wash at 60 degrees with non bio and with white vinegar... they do shrink over time but i know they are clean.....

Thanks everyone - I did think it probably wasn't hot enough. I will try 60 degrees and see.

I have cage liners from C&E Cosies - fleece lined with Zorb. I always wash them at 60° but I never tumble them. They are either hung to dry over the banister or shoved on the radiator. They're absolutely fine.
