Rug Washing & Repairs
Keeping horse rugs clean is an important process to help prolong the life and performance of the rug. A clean rug is waterproof, warmer and more comfortable for the horse to wear and is also nicer for owners handling the rugs.
Rug Prior to washing & re-proofing
We use a computerised washing machine designed especially for cleaning horse rugs and the hypo-allergenic cleaner and re-proofer manufactured by the market leaders NIKWAX.
The NIKWAX RUG WASH is a wash-in cleaner for all horse rugs that safely revitalizes insulation and water repellency. If a breathable waterproof rug loses its water repellency, it will suffer a severe reduction in its ability to breathe. This could lead to a build up of condensation on the inside of the rug so the horse could become clammy, cold and uncomfortable.
The NIKWAX RUG PROOF is used immediately after RUG WASH cycle to keep your horses rugs in perfect water-repellent condition.
