Cleaning Saddle Pads?

That's how I do it, except I use a stiff brush to get as much of the shed hair off as I can.

Definitelty do the brushing outside.........

Haha, yeah. Definitely.

For english pads, I typically just throw them in the wash. If they are super awful, I may hand wash them first and then tie them in a pillow case before putting them in.

Oh my gosh! I love the pillow case idea!
Does that really help witht the hair?
Thank you!! Haha

Yes, definitely do the brushing and shaking off outside!!

It also helps to just give them a quick brush off and shake out after every ride, that way the hair doesn't build up on them too much, it only takes a minute or two.

I second the car wash idea. It works great at the deep down sweaty dirt.

I use one of those cheap plastic brushes and get some hair off, and then go at the blanket with the pressure washer. I do the same with my cinches.

I usually use a flick brush to get the majority of hair off, then throw them in a cold water wash cycle when hubbys not around. This reminds me Im down to one clean pad!

Lol, yeah they looked at me funny when I first went in there. I asked if it was okay and they had no problem, said they have seen way worse! I didn't even want to ask.

I use a lint roller beforehand and then throw it in the wash.

I don't know why, but it always comes out sparkling clean when I just use fabric softener and put it on extra rinse (so none of that crap gets on my horse)

Me and white go well together.. got a white horse.. a white pad...

But I have lint rolled my entire navy cooler as well before popping it in the washing machine.
