It has been an unusual cleaning season after the 2023-2024 winter we had. Here are our tips to make your cleaning and reproofing experience with us(or anyone) better. We do our best on each and every product/brand/style of horse wear we receive. You can help your personal products clean better and last longer if you do a little prep work on your horse wear before putting away in the spring and sending them out to clean.
Muddy Poopy Blankets
Care From
E+D Blanket Wash/Repair
On a sunny day.
Consider finding a flat area with cement or mats, or pavement then lay flat, you can get a soft push broom and a hose with adjustable sprays and spray the dirty areas freeing up the mud or manure and use the broom to help remove the chunks of mud or manure. Once chunks are sufficiently removed find a good place to hang to dry before storing. Your blankets will clean better, be less likely to stain. Dish soap like Dawn Ajax or Joy can help with removing organic compounds. This will make the washing and water proofing in the spring more efficient. Special attention on the side the horse lays, butt and rear flaps and binding and butt straps usually need extra attention. This will help prolong the life of your blanket and keep organic stains at a minimum, and help guarantee a cleaner unstained product when processed for washing and re water proofing.
