How much to do you pay for your rugs to be cleaned?

£6 just a clean and they are collected, but thay take about a fortnight to come back. If I need something cleaned pronto we use an local industrial cleaning firm who only cost £4 (but i deliver the rugs)- they are a bit fussy tho and prefer to only wash stable rugs and I have to tape the buckles for them, but they do keep washing them until they are immaculate!

Rugs are just chucked in the washing machine at the yard - saves a hell of a lot of money for a yard with 40 RS horses

I don't get mine cleaned, the only local place is really expensive. Its over £20 for a wash and reproof, and you have to take it to them, or they collect from a tackshop.

I pay £8 I think for just washing, think its £14 for washing and reproofing. She also does any repairs at extra cost.. Shes only 5 mins away from my yard so I take them and collect them. She normally has them done within a couple of days but if its an emergency it will be done within 24 hrs.

I only get stable rugs washed. Pay £5 per rug and I drop them off which is no hassle as the place is only 5 miles away. They offer washing, reproofing and repairing.

I pay £8 for wash, or £18 for wash/proof. Take them to local saddlers where they are collected fortnightly and returned two weeks after that so they might be gone a while. They're returned vacuum packed in polythene so I have them done in the spring so they're easy to store for the summer.

£7 for a wash, collected & returned to the yard. Comes back nicely wrapped & labeled. Re-proofing & repairs extra, haven't used that service so don't know prices.
