If you wash these rugs too hot i.e. over 30C, then they can and will shrink a size! Don't do it!

The reason I know is coz I've bought one or two used ones off E-bay, and they all arrive immaculately clean - but a size too small!!

I wash mine in 30C now, on a "sports" wash, and don't worry if they still come out a bit mucky.

Hum, maybe high spin but low temp is the order of the day then

I wash mine at 60 and not had a problem.

It's on at 1500 spin and 30, I shall report back.......:eek3:

The spray on stain remover stuff, a scrubbing brush, a scoop of vanish in the machine and an extra rinse cycle does it for mine at 40°. It's only into its second year of use but I wash it pretty frequently and haven't had a problem with shrinking.

I wash rugs for a job and have done my own ones, as a test, on 40deg wash to get out the deep seated muck. All been ok so far.

when my rugs get grubby I wash at 40 with bio powder and a bit of washing soda crystals

I then rewash at 30 with a gentle rug wash and lots of 'pure' fabric conditioner so as not to aggravate the pony's skin

The high spin at 30 didn't really get it clean but it doesn't appear to have shrunk either. It smells nice now but that's about all the difference!
