FAQ
What is Battles Rugsafe Plant Based Rug Wash?
It is a plant-based liquid cleaner formulated for washing horse rugs and horse clothing, including turnout rugs, stable rugs, coolers and fleeces.
Can I use it in a domestic washing machine?
Yes, it can be used in a washing machine or for hand washing. Very heavy or muddy turnout rugs are often better hand washed or taken to a professional rug cleaner, as large rugs can overload a domestic drum.
Will it strip the waterproofing from my turnout rug?
Washing any rug can reduce the performance of an existing waterproof finish over time. Check the rug's care label, and reproof after washing if water is no longer beading on the outer fabric.
Why not just use normal laundry detergent?
Household detergents are formulated for clothing rather than equestrian fabrics and can leave residues. A dedicated rug wash is designed around horse rugs and the dirt they pick up.
Can I tumble dry a rug after washing?
No. Hang rugs to dry naturally in a well-ventilated space and make sure they are fully dry before storing or putting them back on the horse.
Is it suitable for fleeces and coolers as well as turnout rugs?
Yes, it is suitable for horse clothing including coolers and fleeces. Always check the individual care label first.
