Hay on fleece liners

[meepfish66]

Hello,

I love my fleece liners for my guinea, but I wonder, how do you get hay off it? It gets all the little bits stuck to it. I have a special bag to stop it getting in the washing machine but some still sticks after the wash.

Thanks

I shake it and brush it with a rubber bristled brush. It isn't a perfect solution but it helps.

I haven’t found a way of getting all the hay off.
Even vacuuming the fleece doesn’t fully work.
I work on the basis that if the fleeces are clean that’s fine

Yeh I've tried hoovering too. Thought about using a lint roller, but is that fighting a losing battle

Where do you get the brush from?

Similar here, just shake outside, pop it in a bag for the washing machine, another shake while damp before drying & just accept any hay that’s left on.

We have a rubber bristle brush too, but honestly the shaking seems to be as effective. I got ours at the supermarket.

I use a silicone brush that I got from Amazon.

Yes, there lots of silicone brushes available. The piggies will quickly eat the bristles down to nothing so be careful not to leave a brush lying in the cage or anywhere they can reach them. The same goes for gloves and plastic bags, they eat them like candy but they are dangerous

I must confess that even though I try to accept the hay left on them, occasionally I find myself going through a pile of fleece with my tweezers in hand!
I use an old fashioned carpet beater as well as a silicone bristle brush.

I use this brush and dustpan from Home Bargains. It does its job. I shake the fleece outside as well. Although I mainly use the big fleece liners as under layer in the cage and the bobble mats as the main bedding coz they're easier to clean and I can replace the part where the piggies wee more everyday. The bobble mats are softer in my opiniom too.
