To All, Thank you for your responses to my query about laundry detergents, deodorizers for my ferret bedding. Turns out that what I have been doing or using does a pretty fair job for a man. Suggestions ranged from: Plain cheap detergent, bleach and cheap softener Tide w/Fabreeze, Borax and no softener Arm&Hammer, baking soda and vinegar in last rinse Un scented Tide, hot water and cold rinses, unscented fabric softener Tide w/Fabreeze Sun & Earth all natural laundry detergent and softener Arm&Hammer unscented and no softener. Drying in a dryer to get the fuzz out of the bedding Looks like whatever works or ones preference is as mixed as choices for food.
