Hi everyone, Hope you are all safe and well. I am using fleece that has absorbent layer at the moment but i am finding i am cleaning the cage every day as the pee smells so strong. I would like to cut down on my washing as i am doing 3-4 loads .,So i was thinking of making the cage half fleece but what is best to use. on the other part. care fresh, wood shavings, aubiose, meguzorb. I would be grateful for people's input.

Hi

many of us use fleece and have no issues with smell. I’ve linked you the fleece guide for info
A Detailed Guide For Fleece Bedding

and here is the link to the guide about other types of bedding
Bedding For Guinea Pigs - Overview

I use plain fleece (not liners ) On top of puppy pads. I also use noodle bath mats (without the rubber backing) and have no issue with smell in my house.
How often are you cleaning them out and are you washing your liners at 60degrees to kill bacteria?
