I am trying to clean my cats bedding for her litter as I’m quite conscious about young kittens getting infections.
The bedding is already fairly clean before washing and or new from the shop, and I have been trying to wash at 60 degrees to kill bacteria that could be lurking. Some of the bedding is 30 degree maximum wash however and there are some things like the pillows that can’t be machine washed according to the label and instead need hand washing.
I had heard Milton sterilising fluid was good for washing bowls etc in and I wondered if that was any good for fabrics also? I.e could I fill a bath with water, add fluid and soak pillows etc?
There have been some conflicting things online so I’m in two minds about using it, I haven’t yet to be safe but I’d also like to make sure the bedding is clean enough for the kittens. I didn’t know if just washing up liquid and water or maybe white vinegar would be good enough at killing bacteria instead as it’s more natural. Also I don’t know if I’m just overthinking the cleanliness and really a 30 degree wash would suffice.
Thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated
