We recently purchased your liners. My piggies love them, especially the pocket. They also make daily spot cleaning and full cage cleaning super easy. I'll never go back to paper bedding. Thank you!
My liners came yesterday. I read the insert regarding care, but wanted to rewatch this video to ensure I take the best care of the liners. I'm really looking forward to using them with my girls!
I have 4 of your fleeces with pockets and my 3 girls just adore them, they weren't impressed last week when I washed two and realised the first two weren't dry enough to use! 😮 My combi-boiler is in my bedroom so they are dried naturally, they don't take that long tbh. I wash them the same way as yourselves! 😊👍 They're still looking and doing great 👍
I purchased 4 liners for my 8 foot cage so I can switch between them when it’s laundry day. I just washed the first set today and the vinegar really helps get gross scents out. We used vinegar/water solution when my dog was a puppy if he peed on the carpet and it worked like a charm. My skinnies love the liners!
We recently bought a few liners. All my piggies adore them and I am sure the pocket is their favourite. It is an amazing design so please make more products. I love the green one!!!
After using the guineadad liners, I had wished that I've known this product sooner. I would have saved more money. Guys these liners are amazing! I just followed guinea dads instruction on how to care for them and its great! Thank you guinea dad for being innovative!
After I heard about your liners my reaction was like “🤯😮 that’s Genius” I love your liners and your piggies (peanut,dumpling, and tofo) Also I like your hair 😊 And I love your channel and my piggies (mocha and s’mores) Love your pea flakes every time I’m sitting next to their cage they start weeking wanting a pea flake!!
Hi, Guinea Dad I've been watching a lot of your old videos!! And I just wanted to say that you've helped me so much to take care and help change my piggies life!!

Thank you for everything you've done to help me and my piggie!! Also, thanks to you, my parents are thinking about letting me get another piggie!! I can't thank you enough!! Hope all is well with you, and everything going on right now!! :) ~~ Evangeline and Snickers
Omg thank you so much! I appreciate your comment ☺️ and your continued support throughout our growth! I just want to be able to help as many guinea pigs and owners as I can. I hope you are doing well too!
Omg!! I wish I knew about this ages ago!! I just saw thus video when all 4 of my fleece already Strunk 😳 😭 I didn't know about the white vinegar 😅 in the softer but wow definitely helpful! Going to preserve the new guinea dad fleece. Thank you Guinea dad!
I love my liners and crunchy condos! the small liners come with cute tubes for them to play in! i love my guineadad stickers too, so cute! Thanks for this video!!!
My plan (I don't have the liners yet) is to have 1 set of the liners and while it's drying and washing I can do an extra long floor time (I won't get to do floor time everyday)
O.m.g. your liners are the best I've used. They look new after every wash! I only need to buy the red, orange, and yellow Midwest liners, then I will have every color for my midwest cage. They are just amazing liners!
Great video, as usual! So far I do everything right, but I wash in warm water, but the warm in my machine is very lukewarm, more on the cooler side. No softener, no sheets, ever! Thanks, Si!
Thanks G.D.! My girls and I love your liners. The white vinegar does make a difference and it's cheap, I buy it by the gallon. Which reminds me, gotta put that on my grocery list.
Ive had my first liner about a month & I was gonna get a second one last week, but I’m glad I waited for your holiday sale. Also glad I watched this video because I was over drying the liner
I always use and old blanket and cut it and when I wash it I hand wash I was planning to get your GuineaDad liner my piggies love to lift up the blanket and hide under it and pee and poop on the plastic so now I got a Louise Vuitton bag and it has a pocket my grandma just gave it to me so i flipped it over and used it 😂 thanks for the tips!
Thank you so much for posting this. I loved my first liner but definitely ruined it by putting too much detergent and over drying it. . I just ordered 2 more. I’m looking forward to making these last because I love your liners.
I got my GuineaDad liner two months ago and it’s amazing! I’m so glad I found your products! I use the recommended settings and I haven’t had any problems! My guinea also loves to burrow and sleep in the pocket more than her hideaway! It’s awesome!
I recently bought two liners because my piggies have a large play area accessible from their cage. I think I'm going to get more so I can change them out rather than locking the piggies in the cage while I do laundry.
Hi Samii :) Thanks for checking out our video! Because GuineaDad Liner was made to be extremely absorbent, once the liner gets too big it does not wash as well. After experimenting we decided to make the 2x4 as the biggest. Instead of having one big 2x5 liner, I found that having 2x3 and 2x2 is easier to spot clean as well! If you make 2x2 area dedicated kitchen area and put the hang the hay box on that end, you can clean up all the hay by taking that smaller liner and slide all the waste into the garbage can. poop is extremely easy to clean with the electric sweeper I often show in our videos :)
What laundry bags do you use? I make sure to brush and spot clean before putting the liners into a regular mesh laundry bag. This has helped to prevent a lot of hair and debris from getting into the washer...however I am worried about heavier debris that is unseen getting into the washer over time. I have looked at a couple of pet washing machine bags but the reviews haven't been supportive. Thank you for your help and I absolutely love your products! It's made my life so much easier and the ladies are way happier and cleaner because of them. :)
Hello, I actually don't use any laundry bag, and just clean out the machine's filter once in a while. I've heard many people have had success with horse laundry bags.
The way I dry them is to put them in the dryer, no heat and tumble for 30 minutes. This also helps to collect any excess hair sticking to the liner if the washing machine didn’t get it off. Then, I’ll take them out and hang them over the bannister to air dry.
I think that's a good tip. How I do it recently is I just do low heat dry to not fully dry as well. I take extra care in rinsing out thoroughly too. Sometimes remnant detergent heats up faster and damage the liner. I guess the key is to not overload it and use largest load or bedding setting when washing to do that.
No wonder whenever I make my guinea pig a blanket fort he pees and poops in there! Wait, when he climbs into my shirt, he poops in there. That means he feels safe with me right?
Glad I could help! I am so excited for you and I am happy to know that our videos somehow inspired you. If you need help or if you have questions about your guinea pigs please let me know. :)
Ok soooo, these are awesome and make cage maintenance and cleaning a breeze. BUT over time by following his instructions with cold water or even the soak method simply doesn't work. I've tried it all. And this is the solution that passes my nose test! On warm water setting or go ahead and use cold but there is shrinkage with any warmth at all, I pour a hearty scoop of oxiclean, a generous splash of vinegar, all clear detergent measured out, and a little bleach. This is for the liners and other fleece pieces I use. I do the super wash extra rinse cycle on heavy duty setting. I dry my fleece, and hang the guinea dad liners up. It will take about a day for them to fully dry. I had found putting them on airfluff only no heat works too. These things are great but to get the barnyard guinea pig smell out each time you wash them, you really have to do more than suggested. Otherwise it just kept building up. Borax might be useful although I haven't tried it yet.
They make pee pads too, you could get those? I have a custom cage but its 3 c&c grids in width so I just use a few that are 3 long, you might be able to do that
my only complaint: I live in an apt. and we don't have any settings! It's wash.rinse.spin :( I dont know how to thoroughly clean my liners with the limited settings.
Thanks for the support! Be sure to check out our Liner Care guide on our blog: guineadad.com/blogs/news/guineadad-guide-keeping-your-liner-in-tiptop-shape Hope this helps! 😁
May I ask, my washing machine doesn't have the option of "warm, cool, cold" water, in Sweden we use degrees. The lowest is 30 degrees (Celsius), is that cold enough? I just bought a bunch of liners and don't want to mess them up 🙈
Thanks for watching! On average you can wash once a week. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us through contact page on www.guineadad.com
Hi there! Do these need to be washed before first use (to improve absorbency) or do they arrive ready to go? Also, are the all-in-one capsule type washing liquid safe to wash it in washing machine? Or just use water? We never have any powder detergent at home. Thanks!
I want to try these liners but I’m confused... wouldn’t the cage start to smell right away once they start peeing everywhere? I tried using fleece blankets for one guinea pig (not from guineadad) and his cage started smelling bad after a day of having fleece bedding. How do I keep the smell under control before I wash the bedding once a week? What product do I use to “spot clean”?
There’s actually not a smell when they pee because the second layer absorbs it so that way it doesn’t smell. I have 2 piggies and I wash my liners every week. So far I haven’t gotten a smell.
