When I was using bark/shavings, I just used that, no liners. If you use both, the liner will absorb any liquids that make it to the bottom, making the whole setup smell awful. For over 15 years, I’ve used old cotton or linen sheets, tablecloths, or other flat fabric with hemmed edges. Easy to spot when the snake has gone, shake solids into trash and drop in the washer (hot water). You don’t get the naturalistic look, but it makes it easy to completely clean the cage every time. Even with 12 snakes, I can clean all the cages, wash water bowls, and handle each snake for at least a few minutes in 2-3 hours.
