Smart Grooming Hot Cloth Wash No-Rinse Coat Cleaner
Description
Smart Grooming Hot Cloth Wash is a concentrated, no-rinse coat cleaner for horses that lifts grease and leaves the coat clean and refreshed. It is best for riders and grooms who need a fast clean before grooming, clipping or competing, and for cold-weather days when a full bath is not practical.
One 10 ml measure is diluted into around 500 ml of warm water, then wiped over the coat with a suede cloth. The coat dries naturally with no rinsing, so there is no hose, no soaking wet horse and no waiting around on the yard.
