We currently have 7 guinea pigs, and although guinea pigs make great pets for kids, they definitely are a lot of work especially when it comes to cage cleaning. We transitioned to cage liners instead of bedding, since bedding seemed to make its way all over the house, and we wanted something more sustainable.
We have Midwest guinea pig cages, and with cage liners, you simply swap them out when they get dirty.
I received a product sample in exchange for my honest review.
We recently tried the Luftpets Guinea Pig Cage Liner with our guinea pigs, which worked well.
And more recently, we upgraded to a double-layer LuftPets Premium Washable Guinea Pig Cage Liner.
With multiple guinea pigs per cage, a thicker liner is so helpful.
To change the liner, I simply fold it up and shake it out in the trash. Then I shake it outside just to help remove any remaining debris. The nice thing about this liner is that things like hair and hay do not stick to the surface like some other cage liners.
After shaking out the liner, I hand wash it in my utility sink before tossing it in the wash. It has a nice lined backing that is also non-slip, so it helps keep it in place and keeps it from soaking through.
The liner is soft enough to easily go through the wash cycle, and then I hang it to dry. In warmer weather, I put it outside to get some fresh air and let the sun freshen it up.
This liner has a nice added layer of thickness, which is soft and absorbent.
Having guinea pigs means that the cage liner gets dirty pretty quickly. It is nice having a liner that can keep up with the mess!
Overall, this is a great liner to have for your guinea pig cage. This feels extra soft, and I don’t have to worry about things sticking to it and making a mess in the washing machine.
You can find the liners at Luftpets, Amazon, and Shopify.

LuftPets Guinea Pig Cage Liner
My daughter loves guinea pigs and thinking of how to get one for her. Thanks for sharing now I know things needed to keep them safe
Great tips for guinea pig parents searching for a new liner. Your guinea pigs are super cute!
Aaahhhhh….I last saw these liners in 2020. They surely keep the whole place tidy and clean.
Yes! This is so much better than what I had to suffer with when my kids had guinea pigs. I love this.
This is such a better option than traditional shavings. It’s so much easier to clean and FAR less messy.
I don’t have guinea pigs but I can imagine 😉 Oh yes, a cage liner any day.
This sounds like something that might have worked well for our hamsters. It would have really helped control the mess made.
It’s great that this item can be washed easily. Having a utility sink would also be very useful, but unfortunately, I live in a condo where it’s not possible.
This is so cool and although don’t have but would love to save this to try it in the future we decide to get it.
This is a very good idea. My friend has guinea pigs and they have just had babies, I will tell her about this.
I had guinea pigs when I was younger and this would have been great to use, and something I would consider if havingg guinea pigs again
This product is very helpful. I will share this with my cousins who have a guinea pig.
This product would have come in very handy when I had a guinea pig as a kid. My mum couldn’t stand the smell, no matter how much she cleaned the cage.
The cage liner must make such a difference to how long it takes to clean the cages. Such a good idea to protect the bottom of a cage, esp with so many guinea pigs x
Caring for 7 guinea pigs can indeed be quite a task, and it’s great to hear about your transition to cage liners for a more sustainable and convenient solution. Your review of the Luftpets Guinea Pig Cage Liner, as well as the upgrade to the double-layer LuftPets Premium Washable Guinea Pig Cage Liner, is informative and helpful for fellow guinea pig owners looking for effective and practical cage cleaning solutions.
Really great to have a durable and washable liner. It’s a lot more affordable too than the disposable ones! Definitely a good investment for small critters to have a liner.
Your review really helped me decide on the cage liner. Easy to understand and informative. Great job! Got one for my guinea pigs, and they love it. Thanks!
Wow…thanks for recommending this from your own petting experience. It’s gonna be useful for many hamster pet owners. Cheers SiennyLovesDrawing
Such a great product for guinea pig owners! My friend owns one and I will share it with her!
I love Guinea pigs they are so adorable. This product looks really good for them.
Your review of the product is incredibly helpful, especially your insights into its thickness and absorbency. It’s so reassuring to know that there’s a reliable cage liner that can keep up with the mess that guinea pigs tend to create.
I love the fact that it is non-slip and so easy to use! Thank you for sharing your review – Guinea pigs are so much fun.
