Ditto. A scoop of vanish in the wash.

A good Biological washing powder (Ariel is best at low temps), a scoop of vanish and several days of hanging in the sun. Sunlight is a natural whitener.

Pour bleach into the soap tray while it is filling with water.

Napisan.

soak in vanish 1st - in the bath or a bucket depending on size! then wash with pre wash in vanish - sunshire is good too.

I washed a saddle cloth in bleach once and it made holes in the fabric - use carefully!!

Did you use the vanish that's just for whites?

Yeh its the white one read after it recommends you soak first

but still... even though im bit dim i still expected a better result!

Thanks everyone for your ideas not so keen to try bleach though as soaked my mark todd breaches in bleach and they have developed a yellow tinge

will try the napisan though didnt think of that! thanks everyone again

Another for Napisan here!

vanish, Shout spray on any greasy bits or dark bits, and a good biological powder, and a hot temp. i always do an extra rinse too if i'm putting all that in... someone used a saddlecloth which hadn't been rinsed properly on one of my horses once when i'd loaned him out, he sweated, and all his hair fell off where he'd sweated, it looked like rainscald but exactly the shape of the saddlecloth.

I don't soak in bleach, just a big squirt into the water while it is filling the machine up I have been doing it for years now and jumpings shirts, whites and numnahs all look like new.
