Your rugs and equestrian equipment are a huge part of everyday needs as an equine owner all items are washed to manufacturers recommended instructions in large Caterkwik commercial washing machines that have been programmed to give the best results on all types of horse rug and equipment ,even heavily soiled items.All rugs are washed using specialist equine laundry detergent and softener And we use the the leading, professional washing and proofing liquid. “Nikwax” safely revitalises 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 will lead to a build up of condensation on the inside of the rug so the horse will become clammy, cold and uncomfortable.If it is required, we can re-proof your turnout rugs to make sure your horse remains dry and comfortable. The frequency of re-proofing depends on the age of the rug; a re-proofing treatment should last for a season and manufacturers recommend it be done each year.All rugs are then air dried either outside or over our heated rug dryer arms to ensure the rug keeps its natural shape and no shrinking occurs. Once the rugs are dry they are carefully folded, wrapped up bagged and returned back to you clean and fresh and ready for use.
