EquineWear Laundering

EquineWear Laundering Laundering services for horse blankets, sheets, pads... Anything horse related you need washed. I've been around horses for as long as I can remember.
(5)

At five years old I was sneaking out to ride in the backyard, at ten I won my first buckle. Through the years, my mother spent countless dollars on blankets, tack, supplies... So I know the value, importance, and expense of your EquineWear. Everything I launder is cleaned with that in mind, cared for properly, and treated with the utmost importance. I want you, your horse(s), and your wallet to be happy!

Just did a count of the blankets I’ve got currently… 😱 178 (at least) total, and only a little less than half are bagged/done. I just today finally have nothing in line for the washers 🎉🍾👀
Bear with me folks, I’m slowly but surely catching up! ❤️

Hey y’all!
So I’m a smidge over two weeks out of my hernia repair surgery… sorry everything’s been moving so slow! I’ve got some residual swelling and lifting/bending orders, so that’s been hampering getting back to work at full speed. Good timing on the hernia’s part… it doesn’t look like we’ll need blankets or sheets anytime soon 🔥🥵🥴

How about this cute festive blanket’s before and after?! 😍

How about a little before and after? 😍
Light colored blankets and webbing will stain the easiest, it’s super hard to get them back to 100% but I’m still impressed for cold water washing. 🎉

Thank you everyone for your well wishes!

❤️Yes, I’m still doing blankets ❤️

⏳Turn around time is slow-fast depending what you’ve got 🤷‍♀️

🎉Repairs🎉
It’s always been my rule that if I can’t get the tip of my finger through a hole, I’m not going to patch it (unless you specifically ask), and smaller/non essential liner rips get overlooked. I’m trying to stay out from under my sewing machine as much as possible, so I’m not repairing every little small thing… in fact I’m looking into switching my patches to press on/heat press to streamline some of these repairs (less permanent but more waterproof 🤷‍♀️)

I’m going to keep trucking along as long as this body lets me (for the time being… if I win the lotto it’s ✌🏻😘), and the new meds are doing great things. ❤️

🙋‍♀️Also! 🙋‍♀️
The 503 phone number does not get text messages!!! That number gets forwarded to my personal phone number which is a 909 area code. 909 gets texts, 503 does not. And I’m sorry that I’m completely awful about calling back sometimes, if I haven’t called you back after a day or so call me again! I have five thousand things going on, 500 blankets and 2 young heathen children (let’s face it their semi-feral)… my memory constantly fails me! 🙈

I’ve been dreading this moment for quite some time, actually putting it in writing instead of just continuing to work and pushing myself…
I’m sorry guys, my body is just failing me. At this point, consider me in “limp mode”… I’m still operating just at a very much slower pace. It hasn’t been too bad the last few month workload wise, but we’re coming into spring and I just need to make the announcement.
I do not know how much longer I can continue doing the blankets. I’m having severe nerve and pain issues with my left arm and hand now, and it hurts just about every movement I have to do when handling these blankets both wet and dry.
So… just putting this out there! 💔

Happy New Year Friends!!!
2023 went by super quick, my busiest year yet! Unfortunately, it’s time for a few changes that are long overdue… as much as I’ve tried to remain constant. Like everything else in the world, I’ve got to raise some prices. So here is what’s changed:
•All Horse Turnout Sheets/Blankets wash $15 (was $10), pony $10
•All Horse Stable blankets and coolers wash $15 (was $10), pony $10
•All stable sheets wash $10
•REPAIR charges will start at $5 min (this will not effect blankets with numerous/big repairs)
•If I pick up at your barn (arranged routes) there will be a $20 pickup/delivery barn fee or $5 per person, whichever is MORE. I just can’t keep doing it for free anymore and my time is becoming extremely hard to dedicate for deliveries.
•Waterproofing for all horse blankets will be $15, pony blankets will be $10

This only applies to what comes in from this point, so if I already have it, don’t worry, the old prices still apply! ❤️❤️
I appreciate every single one of you and hope that this won’t affect our professional relationship, but I completely understand the hardships of raised prices!
Here’s to 2024 and what other changes it may bring!! 😍💋

Just giving everyone the heads up… one of my washing machines is going to be down for approx three weeks while the motherboard is off being repaired. I will still have one working washer, but processing times may be a bit slower. We’re also coming into the slower processing time weather as well (everything hang dries 😳), so please everyone, bear with me!

***I have already washed/in the process of finishing up washing everything currently here, this is only applying to anything new coming in.❤️***

Sorry, it’s a long one!

Bad news friends… waterproofing has gone up again in price, it’s now $53 a gallon (and that’s buying bulk) 😳🙈. I’ve emailed the company direct and I’m trying to find a route for wholesale pricing, but if I can’t keep my costs close to same I’m going to have to bump the cost of waterproofing up again. I’ve really been trying hard to keep my prices consistent the past few years when other prices haven’t been. This would make the cost go from $13 to $15 for a standard size blanket/sheet to be rewaterproof sprayed. This is will apply to any blankets received after today, 5/22/23.

Also, right now pickup and delivery is getting harder and harder for me to schedule/provide due to the sheer volume of blankets I have here at the moment... I have approx 40 people’s blankets here (totaling somewhere around 160 blankets) right now I’m trying to jam through. Running out to pick up blankets kills half my work day, (I also have young children that take my time once they’re home from school so my work day is already short)… so for the time being I’m only working out picking up if I’m already out and about (this does not apply to my scheduled St Helen’s loop). As for drop offs, I don’t mind taking them as they come in but please understand they may sit for a week or so before I can get to washing… and one of my washers needs serious maintenance and soon I will be down to only one washer for a few weeks while it’s circuit board is off being repaired. I’m trying my hardest to get through everything I have here before it quits on me though.

I hate that my turn around time isn’t up to my own standards but thankfully it looks like Summer is here!

Thank you everyone for your continued support, patience and friendship! 🐴❤️

I don’t know what’s going on but the last couple days my phone service has been in and out (my phone pops in and out of SOS mode, and texts aren’t coming through even when I have “service”), and my WiFi at home has been having issues. I’m hoping a new router fixes my WiFi issue, but until then I’m hit and miss on message notifications and calls. So, if you’ve tried calling or contacting me I promise I’m not ignoring anyone, but I’m not seeing missed calls or texts so please leave voice messages if you do call! Hopefully Verizon gets this all straightened out soon…

How’s your blanket’s waterproofing?

This was pulled from inside of a blanket! This is (I’m guessing) almost the entire blanket’s waterproof coating that has peeled off the backside of the shell material, leaving this blanket absolutely not waterproof at all. If you start feeling wads or balls inside the blanket down at the corners, this may be your culprit 😳🙈

There’s tons of great sales going on right now, I just picked up a couple nice 1200D turnout sheets on Stateline for $42 each!

The in-house laundering and repair side is only half of the action around here, did you know I also sell replacement parts, snaps, leg straps and other straps on eBay? Check it out! ❤️

EquineWear Laundering is a small home business that launders and repairs horse blankets. Along with making blanket repair parts, I also make Cordura tail bags. Most everything is made when ordered, so don’t be afraid to ask for any specifics you may need.

Hey everyone! There’s a new local horse rescue looking for blanket donations if anyone has any they’d like to donate! I believe they’re looking for all sizes, stable or turnouts. Here’s their page, or you can drop any off with me for them ❤️

It’s getting to be that time…
Speaking of time, now that the weather is getting colder processing times are getting longer. Here’s what happens when your blankets arrive:

• Each blanket is “washed” twice. First cycle is washed with Schneider’s Blanket wash soap, and the second is no soap to make sure all soap is rinsed from your blanket. Each cycle is approx 45 mins long (so 1.5 hrs total wash time).
• Blankets are then hung outside until they stop dripping water. This can take a few hours or an entire day depending on the weight of the blanket.
• Once they stop dripping they’re taken inside a heated shed with a dehumidifier where they hang for another approx 48 hours until they are completely dry.
• Once dry any repairs are completed. This stage time frame depends on how many blankets are in line waiting on repairs.
• After repairs are done if waterproofing spray is requested they get sprayed with Starbrite Waterproofing. They then have to hang outside again for approx 24 hours. After 24 hours they get hung back in the shed for another 24 hours to finish completely drying. Unfortunately I cannot put them in the shed any sooner or the noxious waterproofing spray fumes become too much to work in inside the shed.
• Finished blankets are then laid out, Velcro brushed, and folded and bagged.

I can only hang 18 blankets at a time inside my shed, and 15 outside at a time for drip drying.

I can only waterproof 6 blankets at a time, 11 per day.

Just some food for thought as we’re coming into the cold winter weather. Stay warm friends! ❤️❤️

Hey All!
So my surgery was yesterday and everything went great! But, I just wanted to remind everyone that I won’t be doing blankets for about the next month. Drop offs are fine, just know that it will be some time before they’re done (I have a 5 # weight lifting restriction for 3-4 weeks).
Time for healing! ❤️

09/14/2022

Surgery is T-minus one week!

Next Wednesday, Sept 21st, is my back surgery date (rescheduled from August) so at this point any blankets that come in will not be able to be finished before I’m out on leave (I have a 4 week 5lb lift restriction 😳). I’m on track to have everything that’s already here completed before Wednesday, and pickups can be anytime after (or once I let you know they’re done).

Thank you everyone for understanding and support! ❤️

08/08/2022

UPDATED 8/10!! My surgery has been postponed until Sept 21st (unless there’s a cancellation) so it’s business as usual until then 🤷‍♀️😂

Monday 8/8 Announcement
It’s long but important! ❤️

Hello friends! If you’re on my personal page this is nothing new but, I’m having back surgery this Thursday 8/11. I have some major lifting, bending, twisting restrictions for the first month, meaning my blanket turn around time is going to be very slow for the next month or so. This surgery is for a spinal cord stimulator implant so I absolutely must follow all restrictions so that the leads do not move inside my spine until they’ve firmly attached by scar tissue through healing… and I do not want to have to repeat the surgery so I will be following instructions to a T! So please bare with me, I’m trying to plow through as much as I can in the next two and a half days. If you have stuff here that’s finished you can still pick up after my surgery, I just need a day’s notice so my husband can pull your bags and have them ready as I will not be able to lift any bags, at all.

Please note that ALL blankets dropped off or picked up in the next few days will not be completed before my surgery. So these blankets may not be done until MID to LATE SEPTEMBER.

I’m so sorry for any inconvenience! ❤️

I will be having a booth here and I will be set up to take blanket drop offs ❤️

Please make sure if you’re going to bring your blankets for me that you have them bagged and a slip of paper with your information in each bag 😊

The Verizon tower near me is out, so if anyone is trying to call me I have no cell service. I can get texts on my personal phone (909 area code number for those that have it) but my 503 work line is down and does not receive texts. I can log onto Facebook, so messages here work too! Hopefully this is just for today 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

06/29/2022

Hey everyone!! Tis the season for blanket washing! I’ve got a ton of blankets coming in so I figured now is the perfect time to do a post about what I need from you for your blankets ❤️

1. Please bag your blankets (trash bags, empty feed sacks, totes, etc… whatever works!)

2. Please make sure each bag has your name on it or in it.

3. Please write down what you want done (wash, repair, repair if needed, waterproof, waterproof if needed… and/or any specific thing(s) you want done). My memory is horrid some days, so even if you tell me in person, I will most likely forget unless it gets written down, and sometimes I forget to even do that!🤷‍♀️😂

***If you do not leave instructions on what you want done I will do whatever I feel is needed at my discretion*** (this applies only to repairs, I do NOT waterproof without permission). In this case I will only repair what’s critical for use.

If you only say “wash”, I will only wash. I do have some clients who do their own repairs and waterproofing, so I assume that’s what you want to do if you only say “wash”. 😊

I do not look things over before they go in the wash. I wash everything that comes in, I do not look them over first to determine if they’re worth repairing (unless it’s totally obvious). I simply cannot get a good enough look at what all needs repaired when blankets are not clean and on my work table. So, if you send something in that you know might be not worth saving, it’s getting washed. If once on my work table I decide it’s too far gone, I either keep the blanket for parts (with no charge for the wash, and if legs straps are detachable and in decent shape I send those back to you) or if you want it back you’re charged for the wash.

All of these things will keep my end running smoothly and more efficiently. ❤️
Thank you all for your continued support! 🥰
-Katie

Good morning friends!
I just wanted to send a quick note… I am still taking blankets, I’m just running a bit slow due to some unforeseen circumstances, I lost a week when my 4 year old had surgery last week, and I’ve just got a ton of lengthy repairs on my pile! I’m working my hardest to get through them… this was a part time job that has turned into full time hours (I’ve doubled my clients this past year) so please be patient with me ❤️

03/16/2022

Sorry guys, but I’m running a bit behind! Yesterday I tweaked my neck/shoulder something fierce, and I’m still out of commission. I suspect I’m going to be slow going for a few more days, so I’m going to be running about a week behind. 🤦‍♀️
Thanks for understanding!
