If your guinea pig sneezes it means it could be allergic to the fleece. Keep it away and buy it a different blanket. If that doesn't work, it just means that theres dust in the air.

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.

Did anyone make nonchemical shavings for guinea pig cages?
There are many paper based guinea pig beddings on the market that are non-toxic.If you're looking for traditional wood shavings I would suggest using aspen because they have less aromatic oils than pine or cedar.You can also use fleece (the kind used for blankets, tie blankets, hats, scarves, or even sports wear) and then place absorbant towels (microfiber work best) under the towel. The fleece after washed once should wick the urine through to the absorbant layer. Then you daily sweep or vaccume off excrement and check the absorbant layer for fullness (replace if it is) and weekly replace and wash the top fleece layer (use a detergent without perfumes and add vinegar to the wash water as it removes the odor from them).If you want more suggestions on traditional paper or wood bedding check out the housing section under the care guide of guinelynx.info and click on bedding. guineapigcages.com has more information on using fleece as bedding.
