Washing Machines and Dryers for Equestrian Sports

To wash your horse blankets and other horse accessories thoroughly, we recommend a wash cycle that includes a soak phase to remove the initial coarse dirt and horse hair. When washing, always make sure to use only the detergent recommended by the manufacturer of the horse blankets. The blankets should be washed at a maximum temperature of 30 °C. At the end of the wash cycle, only a gentle spin cycle should be used—which is why our WS professional washing machine is perfect for this task. Of course, you can also waterproof your horse blankets in the WS washing machine. Please note that due to the gentle spin cycle, the horse blankets will come out of the washing machine with approximately 80% residual moisture. Before using them again or storing them, you should ensure that the blanket is completely dry.
