Washing hoof boots

[Hollylee1989]

My horse's hoof boots get cleaned weekly by hand, but could do with a better clean. Can you put them in the washing machine? (Cool wash, extra spin I assume). I've misplaced the care instructions, thanks all.

I wouldn't have thought so. Can you not just use a stiff brush with some fairy liquid?

Depends on the boots.

I’ve put Equine Fusion’s in the washing machine and they come out good as new. But they’re fully material.

Renegades and Scoots just take a good hosing.

Depends on the type of Cavallo Boots. The ones with leather bits I wouldn’t. But the Treks I would.

I guess it would depend on the boot. I had Cavallos, they would be a no as they contain leather. I also had some Easyboot Gloves, they did survive a wool wash in the machine.

ETA- Cross posted!

We've got equine fusions

I do use this method, along with a skewer to scrape the out the dirt. Mind you, the hoof boutique said they shouldn't be letting in much debris and recommended another make of them.

Yup mine have been through the washing machine with me several times Always been fine

I put my fusions in the machine without any problems. Current boots are renegades so water and a brush does the trick, sometimes before I take them off.

I've put Scoots and Gloves through the washer, though the Scoots hose off easily so only did it to spruce some up to sell.

Dishwasher would be better than washing machine at least they wouldnt tumble around

I used bath / shower head and scrubbing brush for a deep clean.

I clean with hose anytime are muddy as fear rubbing.

The horse bootys we have go in the washing machine regularly. They come a treat as long as they are vinyl, don't put leather boots in the washing machine, you need to clean them by hand & then saddle soap them afterwards.

I use an old toothbrush for getting into the awkward places on Scoots.

I have cavallos, the leather ones and just hose them and leave to dry. Mine all last years this way, so they’re quite rugged.
