Fleece Baking powder under fleece?

I use fleece and don't have any smell at all. As long as you prepare the fleece properly, any liquids will go straight through to the towel which will absorb it. I haven't tried going longer than a week doing this as I have to keep Shelby's bedding clean because of the mites, but even after a week I have no smell. To prepare the fleece be sure you wash it at least three times before you use it so it wicks the liquids properly. Don't use fabric softener in the dryer and just to be safe I use detergent for sensitive skin and only a little bit, not even the recommended amount.

Baking powder won't do anything for odors -- I think you're thinking of baking soda.

I don't know that it would do any good or that it would be safe. In the first place, you only want one layer of fleece, not three. Fleece is just used to wick the moisture through to the towel layers, and three is not better than one. Second, the soda would come up through the fleece wherever the fleece is wet, and the pigs' feet would be in the soda. I have no idea what that would do to them, but I wouldn't want to experiment on mine.

Your best bet is to keep the poops and the peed-on hay cleaned up daily, put small pads that can be changed as needed under their hideys, and put a kitchen box under the hay rack.

Wow. Ok thank you very much. And yes I guess I was talking about baking soda. Woops! Alright so baking soda out of the question. Thank you for your advice.

i have to boys in a 2X5 cage. i use fleece, a uhaul pad and 2 layers of towels. i am happy to report NO SMELL!! i scoop up their poop 2x a day and place lightly stuffed pillows in the corners where they hide and get cozy. when those pillows get too wet with pee, i simply change them out. really, i think things​ smell MUCH better with the fleece.
