Every day, remove droppings and straw. When it becomes dirty and saturated, replace it. Wash it in a washing machine and let it air dry. Then, it’s ready for reuse.

The frequency of washing the liners depends on the size of the enclosure and the number of guinea pigs in it. The more guinea pigs and the smaller the enclosure, the sooner the liners will need to be replaced and washed. When you feel that the liner is dirty and saturated, it’s time to replace it.

Guineaqueen® liners are some of the most absorbent on the market. However, after several days, there may still be areas of saturation due to insufficient drying time. We suggest placing pee pads in those areas, which can be changed daily.

No need to worry! Our liners undergo minimal shrinkage, with only a 1% reduction even after multiple machine washes. We intentionally make them slightly larger upon arrival, so they shrink to the perfect size for your cage after the first few washes. No more guessing or uncertainty – just a snug and tailored fit every time.

We recommend having at least two identical liners. While one liner is being washed and dried, you can use the other one.

While it’s true that fleece liners may have a higher upfront cost compared to other bedding options, they offer significant long-term benefits. Their durability and reusability save you money over time, as you won’t need to constantly repurchase disposable bedding. Additionally, fleece liners provide superior comfort for your pet, reduce the risk of respiratory issues caused by dust, and make maintenance a breeze. Their eco-friendly nature, by minimizing waste, further adds to their appeal. So, despite the initial investment, choosing fleece liners proves to be a cost-effective and pet-friendly decision in the long run.

Some guinea pigs have a tendency to chew on various items, including liners. While our guinea pig liners are designed to be durable, they are not indestructible against sharp guinea pig teeth. If you have a chewer, provide them with other chew toys such as hay or wooden items. If your furry friends continuously chew on their liner, it can cause irreversible damage. If the chewing behavior persists, it is best to discontinue using the liner.

Our liners are not pre-washed, allowing you to use your preferred detergent during the washing process and empowering you with choice and control. It is generally a good practice to wash newly purchased fabric products before using or wearing them to ensure cleanliness and personal comfort.

Before washing the liner, make sure to vacuum and brush off as much hair and hay as possible. However, some hair and hay may still remain on it. That’s why we recommend using the Guineaqueen® washing bag. It’s large-sized and can accommodate multiple liners. The bag prevents hair and hay from escaping while allowing water to flow through for effective cleaning.

While there are numerous benefits, it’s important to consider the potential downsides of using liners. One drawback is the daily task of cleaning droppings from the liners, as they become visible on the surface. To maintain cleanliness, regular washing of the liners in a washing machine is necessary to ensure they remain fresh and hygienic.
