I recently ordered fleece flippers and I am having lots of difficulty getting them to wick. This is my first time ever using fleece as I just got my first guinea pigs in December. Since the fleece is brand new and pre washed, the first wash all I used was vinegar since I didn't think anything else would be necessary. I then did two washes using only water, but they still won't wick at all, the water just sits on top. I currently have them washing a fourth time using vinegar again. Is it not wicking because I didn't use any detergent or anything? I'm getting frustrated as the cage really needs to be cleaned and I was hoping to have the fleece ready by today to avoid using up another entire bag of carefresh. Help :sad:
Oh, and when I wash them I use warm water (again, because they're brand new and I didn't think hot water would be necessary) and the "regular" cycle, and then I put them in the dryer. Would this affect the wicking in any way? I'm ashamed to admit I've never used a washing machine or dryer before this, I'm not sure why I'm finding it so confusing.
