White Saddle Pads, how do you keep them clean!?

[Cobs Can Jump]

As the title really, I only wear a white saddle pad for dressage, but it always comes off black when I've used it, it doesn't matter how much I brush Joey and scrub my tack it's minging when it comes off and it doesn't come up white when I wash it!

Does anyone have any sugestions on how to keep a white pad white!?

Thanks in advance

Soak it in napisan And wash with Vanish. Reg's is going strong on this routine, and glowing white at events.

I think they still sell it .....Stain Devils "Colour Run" ....keeps the white white! takes away that awful grey hue when white get overwashed.

Thanks everyone it's so frustraiting seeing everyone else with gleaming white pads and mine has marks on it off the grubby cob haha

I have some vanish so I'll be sure to try that one tomorrow before the stains get set in

I wash with vanish, and I also make sure that all my whites go straight in the washing machine within about 5 minutes of unloading the horse at home! I think some pads are also more likely to hold onto stains. I am using a PE square at present, and it seems to be washing up really well everytime.

I use it for dressage, then once I have untacked it goes straight into a bag in the car. Once home I pop it in some napisan for a day or so then spray with Sard Wonder Soap before washing it with more napisan and some blue-o (optical brightener). Keeps my whites, gleaming white

I cold soak them in vanish first before putting them in on a cool wash.
