Washing brushing boots

[Coffee_Bean]

I have a set of tri zone brushing boots, and used to love them as they were white so looked posh, but I just can't get them clean, and they are now permanently grey. Any ideas?!

Are you washing them in the washing machine...?

 

[Mrs_Wishkabibble]

Hmm, I have got the Cappuchino coloured ones and they come up lovely every time but I was JUST about to buy some of the white and silver ones for my new horse - you have changed my mind now. Do you put them in the washing machine?

 

[Coffee_Bean]

No haven't tried putting them in the washing machine....can you do that

?

Well I always wash Woof brushing boots in the machine. I soak them first for a few hours then just bung them in on 40 degree wash. They come up really well, even the white ones.

I wash all my boots in the washing machine, even my stretch and flex ones that are hand wash only. They always come up lovely, although OH isnt too happy when he see the flithy boots that i put in!

I also wash all my tri-zone's in the washing machine, the only boots that haven;t done that well in the washing machine were my professional choice over reach boots. Infact my OH put my Clarendon's in the machine by accident last week, they came up fab.

Yep brushing boots in washing machine is fine... although my mother doesnt get too impressed and has forced me to use a bag ( http://www.toptackequestrian.co.uk/horsewear-wash-bag-495-p.asp ) as she doesnt like the hair or mud...

although i find that the hair and mud just gets left stuck to the item you are washing... especiall numnahs... end up very hairy

Yeah, I wash brushing boots, numnahs and girths (rolled up inside a sock!) and they all come up great. I've also put bits in the dish washer (OH doesn't know about that one!)

Whoops, someone didnt read the washing instructions

Mine go straight in the wash but if they have mud stains on them I soak them first.

Everything is put in the washing machine, but only when my mum isn't in.

Another vote for washing machine and if they really don't come up nice try one of those whitener thingies - like sachets that go in the washing machine drum.

I'm really lucky now - as I have managed to nab my sister's old washing machine and I have my very own washing machine in my tack room!!! Yay!!!
