We wash all horse rugs using an extra large commercial sized washer to ensure they are clean inside and out. We use water at no more than 40°C and hang dry to avoid shrinkage and retain waterproofing. All horse rugs are laundered with Nikwax Rug Wash and we re-proof using Nikwax Rug Proof.
We are also happy to launder other pet/outdoor items.

I have owned horses since I was a child and still do 30+ years later! I train and compete regularly in the central belt of Scotland.
After years of mending my own rugs, thanks to one particular horse who likes to pull rugs off his field mates... in pieces(!), I upgraded to an industrial machine and have become proficient at rug repairs.

After years of mending my own rugs, thanks to one particular horse who likes to pull rugs off his field mates... in pieces(!), I upgraded to an industrial machine and have become proficient at rug repairs. I am also naturally thrifty so always keen to repair, rather than replace! I have also since trained in sewing leather goods too.
With the lack of a quality rug wash in my area, I invested in a commercial machine so that I could keep on top of my own yard full of rugs, which quickly blossomed into the business we have today.

I help Emma with the rug wash and I am usually the one collecting and dropping off your rugs. Look out for me in the Rug Wash van :)
1. Our liability for loss or damage to any item given to us for cleaning/repairs is limited to the replacement cost of the lost or damaged items with a reduction for wear and tear.
2. We will exercise all reasonable care and skill in any cleaning and repairs we do but you must ensure that all items given to us are suitable for machine washing. We are not liable for shrinkage or any other deterioration suffered by any item given to us.
3. We reserve the right to retain all items until payment is received from you.
4. Any rug repair costing £5.00 or less will not be quoted for.
5. Any rugs requiring significant hair/debris removal before they can be washed will incur a surcharge.
Do not wash your rug yourself using ordinary detergent as you will destroy the waterproof qualities of your rug. Detergent removes waterproofing products that the rug may retain and it may also break down the waterproof membrane that is applied to the inner surface of outdoor rug material.
Pressure washers can destroy the waterproof membrane on the inside of the rug material, making it useless as a turnout rug. Also, pressure washing pushes the dirt into the rug, so whilst the outside looks clean, the dirt is just sitting out of sight.
Make sure your rugs are dry before you fold them up and put them away. Many rugs have cotton or non synthetic linings, when stored damp mildew will literally eat the linings out of a rug.
If you can, store them somewhere dry and warm and avoid keeping them in plastic bas. If you do, make some holes in the bag.
You should not use biological washing detergents on any horse-wear as these can result in a skin allergy.
