How much do you pay?

To get your rugs washed?

I just paid £30 to get 2 turnout rugs washed and reproofed which I am a bit miffed off with as I was lead to believe they would be about 7.50 each - not quite sure how it got doubled!!!
Won't be sending the next ones off without getting proper price list!!

I do mine at work as we have a heavy duty washing machine.
My boss charges £6-8 a rug, depending on the size/type. But that doesn't including reproofing.

I have just been ripped off as well, was told they would be £10 each as a 'special' picked up 15 rugs, she charged me £235

There was a couple of rugs that needed fixing that I didn't get a cost for but ... blimey I nearly fell over when she told me!

I am going to buy a large washing machine next year and do my own!

round me the places vary from £5 anywhere up to an over £20!! it gets pricey when you have numerous horsies wardrobes to be washed.

 

[FrodoBeutlin]

12.50 euros (approx.£10) for a winter rug, 10 (£8) for a light/summer rug.

So ..... how much for the washing machine?! I see an opportunity on our yard alone!

I take mine to the launderette. £4 for a washing machine big enough for 2 rugs and £8 for a bottle of rug wash.

I am itching to start up a rug washing and repairing service. Problem is the washing machines are mega money, at least 3k for a second hand one!

it would save me a fortune on my own 3 million rugs and i could provide a well needed service!

Someone collects ours from the yard and I pay £15 for full neck turnouts to be washed and reproofed. I think it is £8 for full neck stable rugs to be washed, but I do them myself cos I'm too mean!

I wish my horse's rugs would fit in a normal washing machine but at 7'3 theres not a cat in hells chance (although I would have had to sneak them in without hubby noticing

) so last ones I sent £10 for outdoor...£7 for stable...but OH's lace has just started making waterproofer's for nylon so will start doing my own outdoors I think

I found a fab company (quite a distance from me, possibly an 80 mile round trip) who were prepared to travel and collect my rugs. They had just bought one of these massive machines and were expanding their business.

They charged £12 for a t/o wash and reproof (didn't charge for any minor repairs) and £8 for a stable rug wash.

They made a great job of them and I would definately use them again.

Nothing.

Fortunately my rugs all look like this at the END of winter, by the time the mud comes it is warm enough to take them off.
