Washing Liners

[mishellyshel]

Anyone have any Tried and True methods for washing their fleece liners?
I can not seem to get the urine smell out of the of the thicker ones that came with Jack,Klinger,Snickers& Oreo. The ones I use for my cages are just fleece cut to fit. but even them sometimes have an odor.
Right now I just use detergent...no softener and I put it on regular cycle.

I wash with hot water, detergent and a cup or two of vinegar. I never have any urine smells afterward.

vinegar & hot water is what I used for my rats fleece.

Vinegar, detergent, and hot water. I put mine on 2nd rinse too. I do not use fabric softner.

Vinegar it is! Thanks so much.........I am adding it to my shopping list now.

If you buy it in the bulk sizes it's crazy cheap. I just buy the white vinegar in the gallon size.

It also helps if you don't procrastinate on cage cleaning and end up with more urine to wash out... not like I know this from experience or anything >.>

I run them through the "rinse and spin" with water and vinegar, and then through a regular wash cycle with detergent and vinegar. The first rinse gets the worst of the urine out.

I use baking soda detergent, a 1/2 cup white vinegar, and a double rinse. They come out fresh as a baby's bottom.... or something like that.
