Top tips for removing hair from saddlepads and bandages

[Mrs C]

Ive decided to do a spring clean and wash all my numnahs etc. Usually I just stick them in my horsewear bag in the washer but washing doesnt seem to remove any hair. Does anyone have any top tips on getting them hair free?! Thanks

Brush it off with a Magic Brush - they are superb brushes! http://supremeproducts.co.uk/shop/products/New-Magic-Brush-%252d-set-of-3.html

One of those grooming stones does the job brilliantly for me. The hoover works well too but the stone does a better job. Gets all the stray hairs off the serge undersides of my saddles too

If you don't have a stone or a magic brush would a rubber curry comb do the job in the meantime?

I put one of my saddle cloths in a pillowcase to wash it the other day and the only downside was that it squished down the bottom and in the creases it made it was still a bit mucky

Sorry to hijack OP!

Ill try all these apart from the vac as OH would have a fit thanks

Silly! Don't you know you have to accidentally include a favourite item of clothing in the washing machine, then the hair magically transfers to that. Doh!

 

[Mrs C]

Ooh does that actually work?! Ill have a look in OH's drawers for some clothes I dont like ;-)

 

[Tobiano]

It will definitely work if it is HIS favourite clothes too.

Pound type shops sell a rubber knobbly brush for grooming cats/dogs. It's the best thing I've ever found for getting hair off of anything and so cheap!

I put them in dryer on cool tumble before I wash... Works a treat or Sellotape roller after for stray hairs...

Marigolds! Just stroke them firmly with marigolds on and the hair comes away

I hoover the hair off before washing! Mums idea! X

Lint roller?

I just Dyson saddlecloths before they go in the wash. Works a treat. Rubber Curry does too but takes longer, plus more effort!

Lots of great tips - thank you x
