Cleaning Fleece Noobies, beware

gatorgirl · Oct 29, 2013

I just made the huge mistake of washing my new uhauls with my new fleece. Unless you want your fleece covered with ugly gray lint and want to have to wash them over again like me, wash these items separately. You're welcome.

Thanks for the heads up.

Getting fleece flippers on Friday. Lol

Now that you've had the piggies for a short while in that nice cage of yours, how is that party patio? Have you noticed them peeking over that edge?
I was thinking of doing something similar when I make my cage, but for use as a kitchen and hay area.

I think I'm confused because some are saying the piggies can easily climb on to a shelf that is half a grid in height. So if I put their kitchen up there, that also makes the cage edge half a grid in height too. Maybe it's the distance down over the edge that discourages them?

Love the party patio. It's nice and big so it can hold hideys and whatnot. I have yet to see them ever peek over. They just don't seem interested in jumping out. They do use it a lot, though. I put the cuddle cups and hideys up there and they settle right in.

I use cloth diapers underneath my fleece.
Works like a charm.

When my kids were babies, I had a hard time finding the really think cloth diapers they had when I was a baby. What brand do you use, if you know? How big are they?

OMG! I could only imagine how many I'd be using! I have three 2X5 cages! Also, you have to wash the fleece several times to get it to wick properly. The Uhaul only needs to be washed and dried. So the second and third time will help get the lint off

What about using Zorb? I was planning on using that, and it comes by the yard.

I think these are it, but I didn't order them and it was like 5 years ago: (broken link removed)
They have multiple sizes, so I can mix&match.
5 years lator, they still hold up amazingly!!!

My main man bugsy adores the 2$ fleece blanket I bought him at walmart <3 I was able to cut in up multiple times so now I can completely change his fleece every day and it only cost TWO dollars <3

I love a good bargain!

As for washing fleece with the uhaul blankets, I do it all the time. I've never had lint attach to the fleece.
