If you have the right kind of soap, and the right water temperature it shouldn't hurt them as such. But that doesn't guarantee that they'll like it. And most animals will try to get away from stuff they don't like.

It's NEVER a good idea to wash you're guinea pig because it can easily give them a cold or pneumonia.

It worked fine :) Make sure they are FOR guinea pigs though. :)

Is fleece better for guinea pigs or bedding?

I would have to say fleece is better. It cuts down on the dust for guinea pigs, the bedding does not get stuck in their fur, it is easy on their feet, and the top always stays dry. Note: Do not use regular detergent to wash fleece. Use vinegar and a gentle, scent free detergent (like oxy clean or tide free). Also, fleece is more effective if your guinea pigs' cage is large and there are not many guinea pigs (1-3 guinea pigs). MAKE SURE YOU GET EVERYTHING OFF THE FLEECE BEFORE YOU WASH. Your guinea pigs will be as happy as ever with fleece.
