Dear Horse/Stable Owner,

No Horse Blankets Please!  How many times have you seen this sign posted at your local Laundromat? Do you wait until late at night when nobody is around and wash your blankets? Many of you spend hours laying their blankets out on the driveway and washing and rinsing by hand!

Why You Should Have Your Blankets Professionally Cleaned.

The trouble with conventional cleaning is that you are only removing the surface dirt. The ammonias found in urine and manure act like acid on fabric, greatly reducing the strength and life of the garment. This in turn makes it easier for the horse to rip or tear the blanket. The sun and heat will bake those ammonias into the fabric, leaving permanent stains and weakening the fabric.  So, what’s the solution? Have your blankets professionally cleaned. It’s convenient, inexpensive and will help preserve the blanket for many years to come.

SportsWash provides a superior method of cleaning. Our specialized detergents break down blood, urine and eliminate bacteria and other harmful contaminates present in the garment. Each item is held separately in its own compartment while being washed. This provides reduced rubbing which adversely affects the longevity of the fabrics. Each client’s blankets are washed individually so that there is no cross-contamination. We also line dry all our garments to prevent shrinkage.

Don't forget about the rider! We clean helmets and boots too!
