Hot clothing

[Fruitcake]

Thought I’d give it a go as horse’s coat has quite a bit of grease being brought to the surface since he was clipped. What can I put in the water (if anything) to help? I wondered if a dash of apple cider vinegar might be suitable.

(I’ve just realised that ‘clothing’ is a homograph and the thread title might look a little more interesting than the reality of this question! )

Dettol. Great for degreasing, and leaves them very shiny

A splash of Dettol works.

I put a splash of Dettol and a squoosh of baby oil in when I do the racehorses. But never the day before a race

I thought you meant infra red clothing, or the battery powered stuff

however yes I have done it a fair bit and always after clipping, usually with some baby oil as that is to hand.

The lavender wash for sweaty horses you can buy is good for hot clothing.

Ive used the barrier healthcare and equimins versions and they are both great for winter washing if you have a sweaty greasy beast. Wouldn't be without them.
