How to Use
- Fill a clean bucket with warm water and add horse shampoo if you are bathing.
- Soak the sponge fully, then squeeze out the excess so it is damp rather than dripping.
- Work over the body in the direction of the coat, refreshing the sponge in the bucket as it picks up dirt.
- Pay particular attention to sweat marks under the saddle area, girth line and between the hind legs.
- Rinse the coat with clean water and remove excess with a sweat scraper.
- Rinse the sponge thoroughly in clean water, squeeze gently and leave to dry fully before storing.

FAQ
What size is the Waldhausen Pink Sponge?
It measures 16 cm wide, 10.5 cm high and 5 cm deep, which is a comfortable one-handed size for adults and older children.
Can I use this sponge on my horse's face?
Many riders keep a separate, smaller sponge for the face and another for the dock area. If you use this one on the face, use plain water only and keep it dedicated to that job.
Is it suitable for cleaning tack?
Yes, it can be used to wipe over tack and rugs, but keep a dedicated sponge for tack so that saddle soap and leather products do not transfer onto your horse's coat.
Will it suit a pony or a larger warmblood?
Yes. The sponge size works for ponies, cobs, horses and warmbloods; you will simply need more rinses in the bucket on a bigger, muddier horse.
How do I keep the sponge fresh?
Rinse it out in clean water after every use, squeeze rather than wring it, and let it dry fully. Avoid leaving it in dirty water or in strong sunlight for long periods.
