Proper care of horse blankets extends their lifespan, preserves warmth and waterproofness, and keeps your horse dry and comfortable.
Brush off dirt, hair and mud before washing. Wash duvets as needed – not more often than necessary – to avoid unnecessary wear.
Use a detergent specially formulated for horse blankets , never regular powder detergent or fabric softener. Regular detergents can impair the blanket's waterproofness and breathability.
Wash one duvet at a time
Always follow the washing instructions on the duvet.
Use a washing machine large enough to allow the blanket to move freely.
Rinse thoroughly
After washing, the blanket may need to be impregnated to regain full water repellency, especially if used outdoors in rain and snow.
Let the blanket air dry or use a tumble dryer on low heat if the manufacturer allows it. Avoid high heat which can damage the material and seams.
Store duvets clean, dry and ventilated , preferably in duvet bags. Avoid damp spaces to reduce the risk of mold and odor.
