Regain shape of piggy fleece houses

[Gazzdw]

Hi - Just wondered if anyone has ever had any luck and how they did it getting the shape back of fleece houses after they have been washed and stored? Our teepee pig house has sort of collapsed on one side!
Thank you

I believe you have to reshape when wet if there’s foam inside, i don’t think they ever properly keep the perfect shape but if you shape it when it comes straight out of the washing machine it should look decent enough

I think storing them flat doesn’t help nor piggies using them a trampolines too. I wash then straighten and sit of radiator, it seems to help

I re-shape them when wet and dry them on drying racks or on top of the radiator. But despite my best attempts to keep them beautifully upright I have 6 big bummed vandals who seem intent on squashing them down and using as trampolines.

i use old plastic igloos or cardboard tunnels stuffed into the entrance of fleece hides, whilst fleece is still wet.place on an airere to dry,and remove cardboard tunnels/plastic igloos when fleece hides are dry.usually look like original shape !

Having a why didn't I think of that moment - what a clever idea.
