How to Wash Horse Blankets and Sheets

How to Wash Horse Blankets and Sheets

No matter if you’re getting ready for spring cleaning or it’s still winter and your blankets and sheets look like they need some TLC to get through the rest of the season, the right cleaning process will make a difference in your horse’s comfort and protection. 

Check out some tips and tricks on how to wash your blankets the right way.

Should You Wash Horse Blankets at Home?

If you’re more of a hands-on horse owner, you may be wondering if you can just wash your horse's blanket at home in the washer and dryer. While this may seem like a quick and simple solution at the end of winter, it does come with a few risks. 

Most likely, your washing machine doesn’t have the right capacity to handle blankets and sheets, especially the heavier weight ones. Because of this, achieving a thorough clean will be a challenge. If you don’t have the right machine, you'll also risk damaging the blanket or different parts of it like the surcingle and leg straps.

Wash and Waterproof Your Horse Blankets the Right Way

To protect your investment and make sure your horse will stay dry and comfortable all winter long, trust a team of experts to handle your blanket washing, repairs and waterproofing for you. 

At Wilsun Custom Products, we have decades of experience caring for the horses in our community and the surrounding areas. We offer a comprehensive range of blanket services so your horse stays warm all season long. With our commercial washers, gentle detergents and barcode tracking system, we’ll help keep all your blankets and sheets cleaner for longer.

Tips and Tricks for Cleaning Horse Blankets and Sheets  

No matter the brand or type of horse blanket, check out a few tips and tricks to ensure the best results: 

  • Remove excess dirt and hair: If your horse blankets and sheets are coated in a lot of dirt, mud and loose hair, it will be harder to achieve a spotless finish. Taking the time to brush away the excess dirt and debris, especially on the outer layer, lining and seams, will ensure your blankets are as fresh and clean as possible.
  • Line dry: While it may be tempting to just toss a horse blanket in the dryer after washing, the high heat can cause it to shrink and damage the waterproof coating. Instead, line drying it in the sunshine will reduce the risk of shrinkage and damage. 
  • Regularly check waterproofing: When you first purchase a horse blanket, it will be waterproof. Over time, this protective layer will start to wear off, causing your horse to be unprotected on cold, rainy days. Regularly check your blankets to ensure water is still beading and running off the material. 
  • Properly store blankets: Once your blankets and sheets are clean, you want to store them in a clean, dry place. Folding and bagging ensures they stay protected from sun damage, moisture and bugs in the off season.
