Horseware Rugs

[Caritas]

Can someone please tell me if rambo and rhino turnout rugs are still waterproof after being washed in a machine? Many thanks

I send mine to be cleaned but i think they re-proof them after - so not sure

- you can buy re-proofer though.....

If you wash them at home pop to the tack shop, you can but rug washer and a reproofer that you just stick in when washing, it's really easy.

Horsewear say that its rambo turnouts are made from ballistic (sp?) nylon and as such should still be waterproof after being washed. Rhino's would need reproofing though

Should be.

did you use washing power??? as this can effect waterproofing but you can buy special stuff to make sure they do stay waterproofed

If you wash them just in plain water then any rug will remain waterproof as long as the temperature of the water does not exceed 40% so a normal wash cycle will be fine. Far cheaper to wash them yourself at the local launderette rather than send them off to be cleaned and re-proofed. Mine come out looking like new after a quick wash at the posh-wash. £6 for the biggest machine and I can fit 4 rugs in there !

I have always washed mine in fairy on a 40 degree was in an industrial machine and have never yet had to reproof any of mine. The one that is 9 years old will get reproofed this year tho
