Washing powder for rabbits

....well not for rabbits but for their bedding. Is there a particular brand people would recommend please? At the moment I am using my normal powder but in a quarter of the quantity. Thank you.
 
I don't use anything different to what I use to wash my own clothes. The only difference between my wash and theirs is that their blankets get washed in a horse rug wash bag to prevent the machine getting clogged up.
 
I just use what I have in - typically co-op's own but if you wanted an organic solution soap nuts might be good

Sounds good - I do the same!

Even a boil wash where required :roll:
 
I use the same as my own. Only difference being that the conditioner isn't used, I put white vinegar in that draw when I do a bunny blanket wash.

Doughnut doesn't have any bedding but for her vet bed in her hutch where she eats her food I just pop it in the washing machine without any power. She's scared of smells and if I get any washing out she runs away.

I often find I've left out the washing liquid for my own washing as well :shock: The dosing ball full is on the shelf and never went into the laundry. To be honest, I never notice the difference :lol:
 
I use ecover zero for the piggies washing. It has no smell which is brilliant for them and for me! I add white vinegar to the fabric softener drawer :wave:
 
Haha the vet bed still comes out clean! It's strange she's so scared of different smells but noises such as fireworks she's not bothered at all.

Glad you clarified that! :lol:
I use Co-Op's own brand washing liquid as it's vegan and cheap. It's always been fine for the buns :thumb: Ecover works well too. Snowflake is sensitive to some chemicals but has never had trouble with either of those.
I do use less than with normal washing and I don't use fabric conditioner (though I did once by mistake and they were fine with it)

Oh wow... That may be the best idea I've heard in ages. I've never thought of using a wash bag! The washing machine is always full of hay and it's a nightmare. You've just saved me from endless hours picking hay out of the machine :lol:

I've done this before. Same with the dishwasher. Both came up fine
