The prices shown for the indivdual liners are actually a "minus" amount, so take the amount shown off the full set price. Therefore, please click on the option you are interested in to see the actual price. This is just how it all works.
Detailed Description of our Plush Chartwell Liners
We have been making liners for many years using a specialist fabric called Zorb™ Silvadur®. However we have had many people ask us for a more economic liner using wadding inside, like the majority of our immediate competitors. Although not as effective as absorbing liquid as Zorb™ Silvadur®, wadding liners are a popular choice when used with other items in the cage such as pee pads. More info about the wadding and our usage recommendations for these types of liners can be found below.
We used our experience and many many hours of trial and error to establish that the liners should be made using high quality anti-pil polar fleece on the top and bottom of the liners with a layer of thick 10oz Polyester Wadding sewn in-between the fleece layers. The fleece is anti-pil meaning that it won't bobble and become less effective over time. In fact the fleece wicks liquid away better after multiple washes.
All of the liners are hand made in the UK by experienced and skilled seamstresses.

Why we use Polyester Wadding
Although these are classed as our Economy range we do not skimp on the quality of products or indeed the quality of sewing. We still use the same high quality anti-pil fleece but we team this up with thick, squidgy 10oz Polyester Wadding to give your guinea pigs (other pets are available) a wonderfully soft and comfy base to their cages.
We only use the best quality wadding we can get and these liners, when paired with additional items such as pee pads or any of our beds can give your gorgeous bundles of joy a luxurious and comfortable place to live.
Important Notice: Due to wadding not being an absorbent fabric we do recommend that these liners are not used without something underneath them, such as puppy pads, towelling etc.
Washing Instructions
Washing and Drying
Give your liner an initial wash before using. This helps aid the wicking of the fleece.
Sweep/vacuum the loose hay and droppings daily.
Your liner will probably need washing once or twice a week depending on how messy your little ones are.
If you have 3 or more animals then washing may need to be done more regularly.
If you use pee pads or similar then this can extend the time between washing.
Make sure you shake/brush the loose materials off your liner before washing.
If available, place your liner inside a laundry bag.
Machine wash your liner on a cool wash, 30/40C using a washing detergent that DOES NOT contain fabric softener. A little white wine vinegar can help eliminate odours.
We always RECOMMEND line/air drying liners. Howeve our Zorb based liners, unlike others, can be tumble dried if necessary. Please ensure it is on a LOW HEAT SETTING. The wadding liners can ONLY be line dried. Due to the materials we use they will dry quickly.
Extra Help
Do Not use fabric softener when washing your liners. This is because it leaves a residue on the fleece fibres stopping them from wicking moisture away as effectively
As mentioned above, we recommend giving your liner an initial wash though this is not essential. You will find the more the liner is washed the more effective the fleece becomes at wicking away any moisture. This is normal behaviour for the material and is a reason why it is so good to use in the cage.
When washing, if you give the liner a second spin/rinse you will find that it dries a lot quicker.
Make sure you don't use too much detergent as this will clog the fibres and stop the liner working as effectively. This will lead to bad odours.
