I put liquid detergent - for front loaders (a little, not as much as for cloth loads) and vinegar in the detergent area (quantity depends on how dirty the fleece and piggies towels are). I also add vinegar in the softener area too, and always choose an extra rinse. Works better then the detergent. Fabric softener is not good for fleece, prevents it to absorb, beside the fact that it also perfumes the fleece, and for piggies ain't good.
The vinegar is the best cleaner ever! It gets all hard stains out (most people here on the forum use it to clean the cage too, 50% water 50% vinegar, or 100% vinegar for worst stains), it is better then any special cage solution cleaner. Removes piggies odour too, disinfects.
