Fleece What detergent do you use for the very first time of washing?

I am not in the UK but any detergent that is free of dyes and perfumes and contains NO fabric softener is fine. I also use a cup of vinegar every time I wash. Wash and dry at high temps 3-4 times before first use and you should be good to go.

Good luck! I have been using fleece for months and LOVE it! Patience is a virtue with fleece so definatley follow the multiple wash and dry cycles before first use and you won't be disappointed.

Thats great thank you for your advice! I just want to get my piggies in their new home! I have realised patience is a virtue!!!! hehe

I have been looking for detergent in the UK that is free from perfume and dye...and it is a struggle! I need to know what other people from the UK are using! Lots of them have fabric softner in them aswell. Can i just use white vinegar?

I use Purex free and clear and add some vinegar in. Im in the USA though...can you order it on Amazon maybe? I actually started using it a while ago when my entire family stated having skin reactions to everything else! It is very gentle for piggies and for humans

Hello! I am also not in the UK, but I just use Vinegar. I do 2 washes with it, and it works great with no smell and I never have stains left. =D

I actually just pour it on top of the towels, I dont put it anywhere specific ( Although my washer is super old, so the only drawer I have is for softener)

I throw my vinegar right in with the detergent when I first start running the machine
