Rugs, rugs, rugs!! 🫧🧽🧼
Pricelist pinned on page! Busy week with orders ahead turn out currently at 5-7 days.
Get organised for winter and get them washed and re-proofed. Do your other half a favour and STOP using the washing machine there is a good reason why…..actually here’s 10 reasons
⭐️Horse hair clogs your machine
Horse hair, hay, straw and dried mud can clog filters, pumps and drainage pipes, leading to blockages and expensive repairs.
⭐️It can damage your washing machine
Heavy, waterlogged rugs can put excessive strain on the drum, bearings and suspension, especially if the load becomes unbalanced.
⭐️It can spread bacteria and contamination
Rugs can carry manure, urine, skin debris and microorganisms. Washing them alongside household laundry risks cross-contamination, particularly if the machine isn't cleaned properly afterwards.
⭐️You could ruin the waterproofing
Incorrect detergents, fabric conditioners, high temperatures or unsuitable wash cycles can affect the rug's waterproof coating and breathable membrane.
⭐️Straps and buckles can cause damage
Heavy fastenings can bang against the drum, scratch surfaces or catch on the rug and other components.
⭐️Horse rugs are simply too bulky
Even if a rug fits inside the drum, it may not have enough room to move freely. This can result in poor cleaning and excessive strain on the machine.
⭐️Detergent residue can irritate your horse
Ordinary detergents and fabric conditioners may leave residues that irritate sensitive skin, especially under a rug worn for long periods.
⭐️Rugs can take ages to dry
Thick fillings and layered fabrics retain moisture. Inadequate drying can lead to musty smells, mildew and potential skin problems when the rug is put back on.
⭐️Seams and fillings can deteriorate
Repeated unsuitable washing can damage stitching, affect the shape of the rug and cause some fillings to clump or shift.
⭐️A domestic machine isn't designed for the job
Dedicated rug-cleaning equipment is better suited to bulky, muddy horse rugs, with appropriate capacity, cleaning methods and drainage arrangements.
Not really sure you wouldn’t use us then eh 🤔😏💁🏼♀️🤩❤️🤗
