It needs to be washed tonight for dressage on Saturday and I have no special wool washing powder and I dont wanna mess it up....

I have been googling and most say special shampoo stuff and if I machine normally I will ruin it!

Any ideas?

Thanks :):):):)
 
I don't really know and i am sure others will, but if it were me i would very gently hand wash with a mild shampoo or a tiny tiny tiny amount of washing powder. then let it drip dry over the barfffff:D
 
I have the Le Mieux half sheepskin pads which are used daily and washed regularly.

I was advised to slather them in cheapo human hair conditioner and then put them in the machine on a 30o wash. I use normal Persil. Do not tumble dry.

LOL :D ^^this! I have a mattes half pad and it is fine, just allow it to dry away from heat and if it still has skin, shake it up a few times while it is drying to keep it supple.

If I have special wool, leather or down wash I use that, but normal washing powder once in a while doesn't seem to do any harm :)
 
I have washed it with a bit of normal shampoo and covered in conditioner, rinsed and is now left hanging over the bath.

Thanks :)
 
Oh dear, i just throw our's in the machine with the normal washing powder on the normal wash and then leave it to dry naturally :eek:

Doesn't seem to be causing any problems with it, comes out lovely and soft and fluffy and showing no signs of wear and it has been washed quite a lot of times
