Even if you take good care of your horse blankets, the waterproof coating won’t last forever. Over time, this coating will start to break down, which will cause rain, sleet and snow to seep through the fabric. Other contributing factors, ranging from incorrect cleaning methods to rips and tears in the material can cause the waterproofing to deteriorate even faster.
This is why it’s important to regularly check and test the waterproof ability so your horse isn’t left unprotected on cold, wet days. If you’ve been noticing that the water isn’t beading and running off your horse’s blankets like it used to, it’s time to reapply waterproofing.
Our full-service horse laundry business provides waterproofing and water repellent treatments for blankets and sheets as well as attached and detached hoods to keep the wet elements out. After washing, we use a spray-on applicator to ensure your horse’s blankets get thoroughly and evenly coated in the waterproofing product. Blankets are then line dried outdoors before being folded for storage.
With our waterproofing service, we’ll make sure your horse stays warm, dry and protected next winter season.
