Regular cleaning is key to keeping your horse rugs effective and comfortable. Dirt, sweat, and grease can reduce a rug’s breathability and waterproof coating, leading to leaks and odours. Using a specialist rug wash instead of household detergent helps preserve the fabric and protect waterproof linings. Products like dedicated rug detergents remove dirt without damaging the material or inner membranes.
Restore Waterproofing and Breathability
Over time, turnout rugs can lose their waterproof layer, allowing moisture to seep through. Waterproofing sprays and wash-in reproofers restore this essential protection, keeping your horse dry in all weather. Simply apply after washing and drying your rug to revitalise its outer coating. Regular reproofing also enhances the rug’s durability and extends its lifespan, helping you get more use from every piece of kit.
Repairs and Maintenance
Small rips and loose stitching can quickly turn into bigger problems. Keeping a rug repair kit on hand allows you to fix tears or broken straps before they worsen. Many kits include strong adhesive patches and tough thread designed for horse rugs, so you can make quick, reliable fixes at home. Routine maintenance — checking fastenings, linings, and seams — ensures your rugs stay safe, secure, and comfortable for daily use.
Storage and Seasonal Care
At the end of each season, clean and dry rugs thoroughly before storage. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent mould or fading. Using rug bags or breathable covers helps protect against dust and pests, keeping your rugs fresh and ready for next use.
