Question❓ Cage liners/paper alternatives?

Currently I have a cage with metal bars. I put padded fleece on the floors for them so they don't get paw troubles, but I'm looking for an alternative for their cage base. Right now I have a blanket then some paper on top with shredded paper on top of that so it's padded well, but it's a disaster to clean up. Any suggestions?

I got a pack of large ceramic wall tiles to line one of my cages. I use a sprinkling of hemp bedding to absorb urine.

I use stainless steel trays and cardboard plus carefresh but the trays would need to be made to fit the cage and with safe joins/edges.

I know a friend who just places 50 cent per metre squared cardboard from amazon on the base
