Yes you can use towels instead of beding for guieana pigs to be on because I have a guieana pig myself and he LOVES towels. Whats really great about using towels as bedding for your guieana pig is that you can take the towels out if your guieana pigs cage and reuse them again. Towels don't harm your guieana pig eather. Plus, their even more softer than bedding form a store! I know this because when I got my guieana pig, the owner said that its healther for your guieana pig because theres less dust to ruin your guieana pig's eyes.

What can i use to make a guinea pig smell good?

The only thing that you can really do to keep a guinea pig clean is to clean out its cage and bedding very frequently (once a week at least). Bathing rodents can cause injury or death to the animal, and scents such as perfumes contain harmful chemicals. Cedar woodchips produce a great smell for the cage if changed regularly.
