For the past few days, cleaning the cages has nearly driven me to a frustrated mess. The air must have changed or something, because everything in the cages has static cling. This is so maddening, because I can't use fabric softener or anything like that on the fleece.
So when I go to sweep the hay, poops, and hair, it flies up and sticks to me, the wall, the sides of the coroplast, everything. Trying to dump the dust pan is a joke. I tried a vacuum and it made the hair and hay stick to the fleece even worse! I'm at my wits end! Why is everything sticking like a magnet?!
My guys have been sneezing occasionally because of this and I can see why! The tiny bits of hay from the fleece flew up into my nose when I was trying to sweep and I broke out in an asthma attack (I'm allergic to hay and asthmatic) and couldn't stop sneezing.
I'm worried this is going to be bad for their lungs (and mine!).
What are my options? We can't think of anything that we can use on the fleece that won't block it's ability to wick the pee and be pig friendly. Ugh!
