Important Infomation about Rug Cleaning
Have you ever stopped to think?
IS MY RUG CLEANING
COMPANY USING THE
SAFEST METHODS FOR
MY HORSES SKIN?
You may think cleaning is
cleaning; however there are
factors to consider when
thinking about the longev-
ity of your rugs, and exactly
what you are paying for.
Have you ever thought
about what happens to
your expensive rugs when
you drop them off for
cleaning and more impor-
tantly RE-PROOFING?
As a horse owner myself, I
have spent a lot of money
on rugs over the years and
want to ensure they are
looked after and treated
professionally when I send
them off for cleaning. So
with this in mind Hartpury
Saddlery has undertaken
research to bring you not
only the best rug cleaning
service around but facts
behind the dirty job too.
Detergent-free washing- cleaning
your horse rugs detergent
free ensures
a thoroughly clean rug with
no risk of an itchy reaction for your
horse, avoids skin conditions - and
it is totally environmentally friendly.
Disease prevention is important to
all horse owners, therefore it is
essential your rug cleaning service
has methods in place to prevent
any spread. Good storage practices,
separate areas for clean and
dirty rugs and no bags should ever
be taken from customers for
transportation and defiantly not returned
in them.
Reproofing is an important part of
ensuring the long life of your rugs
and keeping your horse dry and
comfortable. It is essential that the
right product is used to do this. we
only use Nikwax aftercare treatments.
“The Swedish Society for
Nature Conservation claim that
Nikwax are the only manufacturers
of aftercare products that contain
no fluorochemicals.
”Fluorochemicals are able
to enter human tissue,
which can have harmful effects on
fertility and hormones. They are
also known to spread environmental
pollutants into water and
the air So when we use Nikwax we
know it is safe to You, Your Horse
& your rugs.
Hartpury Saddlery is proud to use a company that comply with all these facts.
