I have 2 S**t covered Stable Rugs and 3 Bossy's Bibs now all beautifully clean and smelling Lenor fresh drying on my balcony.

Please no one tell my husband I washed them all in our machine :-))
 
Hahaha! Lovely! If I smell a suspicious waft of something vaguely Lenor-y, vaguely horsey, I will know where it's coming from.. although you are probably nowhere near me :D
 
My husband has just spent the whole day with the washing repair man after I left my handbag full of "stuff" in it! (I thought it would spruce them up a bit but forgot to take everything out) YIKES! He thinks it's wear and tear. Let's keep it like that eh?

I think it gets mine back perfectly for all the bloody tissues he leaves in his pockets :-))

How are you going to explain the copious amounts of horse hairs that are stuck to his smalls and socks ;)?

I used to take some perverse pleasure in sticking all his clothes in after my sneaky horse wash :D:D.

New washer, so now all horse stuff goes to the rug cleaners :(.
 
This did make me laugh.

I've had no qualms about putting numnahs and girths in our machine but might think twice about a rug. As I do 90% of the washing, hubby has no idea. I just make sure I put another load on straight after, and he's none the wiser. He hasn't noticed any strange horsehairs on his socks so I think I'm getting away with it...
 
My OH has given up on the washing machine row, I won that one:D:D:D

But it means that I can stick whatever I like though it:eek: so far no breakdowns:) and the plus side of my washer is that it has an extra large drum, so I can put heavy weights in :D:D:D
 
or you can pop down the laundrette and wait for peoples faces to look at you in dis-belief as the rug straps make a clanking sounds as they go round and round!
 
After we had to call the washing machine repair man out after my Hubby decided to wash his boat sheets (ropes) in our machine and bunged all the pipes up with the stuff and fibres that came off them he could never complain about anything that goes in the machine!!

In an ideal world though I would have two machines, one for "our" stuff and one for horse/dog stuff!
 
I do try to hide my bad habit of rug washing at home, but it's a bit of a giveaway when the washing machine annually breaks down and my husband ends up fishing tones of horse-hair from the machine's innards :o
 
i do horse rugs, numnahs etc routinely, then run a cold wash through an empty machine. it's okay... got caught out when drum refused to turn any more, got repair man out (fortunately still under warranty then) and he found about five 6" nails in it, jamming it stuck. out of my pockets. oops. luckily he was very nice and didn't mention them on the report form...

Here here ! Although add to that memory sticks, various screws inc a coach bolt that went through the drum. Keys, loose change, the ocassional £5 :D, pens and keys and this weekend 3 different coloured magnets :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:.

I wont mention the bits of hay and straw that I find in the door seal........
 
My OH complained so much about arriving at meetings itching and covered in horse and Labrador hair that we had to get a second washer !
 
Oops... :cool:

I was a bit concerned when I moved back home about putting my fly rug in the washing machine - waited till my parents were away then pre-soaked it in a big trug tub then put it in the machine, then put the empty machine on a boil wash after - got away with it!

However, shouldn't have worried, my mother has decided that the pony can do no wrong and is generally perfect in every way and now washes his fly rug, bib, high viz sheet and has them ready and folded for him. She's also learnt to muck out! :D :D

Ours just says "No pet blankets" if you sneak in on a sunday though there is no one there apart from a few other customers.... and any rugs that I have washed are "sleeping bags" ;) - their faces are a picture when they see the amount of dirt that comes out of them

My rugs are cleaner than some of the stuff I have seen people put in the machines though!
 
My OH works away all week so my rugs get washed at a leisurely pace and then hung in our boiler room overnight to dry , by thursday i'm just about shipping everything back out to the stables and putting the machine through a 95 degree cycle just in time for his whites!!

I may even be tempted to put my stirrup irons and bit in the dishwasher , but i fear this may be a wash too far...:eek::D

Ha ha did this last year .. unfortunately towards the end one of the straps got caught in the rubber seal around the door and the machine started leaking!!! We made a rapid exit with our ' sleeping bag'!
 
Three guesses who was on her hands and knees pulling out the filter this morning on her washing machine which was full of ginger hair.....me..and I was cursing that it was not spinning out! That's because I washed my bright bays saddle pad at the weekend!
