launderette

Washing machine! :) If it's got lots of hair on it you could put it in a pillowcase and tie the top up. That will keep the hair in the pillowcase and save damaging the machine, but will still get it clean.

[Sexy Sietske]

I bang everything in the washer...saddle clothes, head collars, fleeces, even the lightweight turnout (as some of you may know :p) all while mummy works over time :D:D

Thats what she gets for leaving me with the kids an extra 2hours a night!!

[blues mum]

washing machine. mind you I am the mum now, so no one to tell me off !
my mum used to tell me 24 yrs ago that washing horse stuff in her washing machine would break it , she still has the same machine now !!!!!

[stroppymare]

I usually give the saddlecloths a good hoovering then straight in the washing machine.

[beth_cf]

you can buy those horse wash bags that go in the washing machine and collect the hair so it dosent muck it up! i think there about 10 pounds and you can get them most places... :)

You can also hoover the thing before washing it - gets most of the hair and dust out. Then just stick it in the machine.

[Bay Mare]

Like Chev I hoover it first and then stick it in the washing machine with some specialist sheepskin liquid soap stuff (probably not necessary but I got it with the saddle cloth).

I did take some saddle cloths and rugs and put them in the work machine once .... the washing machine was ok (well, it jammed and gave me a heart attack because I couldn't open it) but the dryer still had Saffy hairs in it even when I left :eek:

[Ms Kitty]

The putting them in a pillowcase and washing them in it really works well! :)

We have a washing machine at the yard, and also a dryer, so nice and easy! ;)

[Back2Black]

I hoover mine before sneaking them into the machine and switching it on while my parents aren't looking... By that time its past the point of no return :o

[mogadoga]
