Default coir liners query

I have never used these hanging basket liners before, do they need any
special treatment ?

I use them and the birds like them too ;-)

Thanks for the follow up, the coir liners look a great deal tidier than
the ones I usually use. I used to use straw with a plastic bag
liner,very cheap but sometimes fell apart :-)

I tried a different liner this year on a hanging basket. One with moss stuck
to what looks like ablack bin liner with holes for drainage. And used a coir
liner for my wall trough. The difference is that the birds loved the new
liner and all I have is the black backing with quite a few extra drainage
holes and the coir liner is still there!
I find the coir one quite tough and the birds although they try to take bits
for their nests is a lot tougher than the moss ones.... will now be using
coir for all lining in future!
