Cleaning of saddle cloths and horse blankets

Outstanding system solutions for all kinds of materials and application areas have made Miele Professional the innovative market leader in the area of laundry care. We have even developed a solution for the cleaning and care of saddle cloths and horse blankets. The right cleaning and care of heavily used saddle cloths and horse blankets are important aspects for the total image of the horse and rider. After physical exertion these equestrian blankets are usually covered in sweat. The sweat combines with the dirt and dust to form incrustations that block the ventilation pores in the fabric if it is not cleaned regularly. Cleanliness is also an important prerequisite for the health of the horses stabled at the equestrian centre. When the horse sweats it creates the perfect environment for parasitic fungus to grow. Regular cleaning and care therefore serves to maintain the value and functionality of the expensive blankets and is an efficient hygienic protection against illnesses. An on-site laundry at the equestrian centre has a number of specific advantages: Short processing times, blanket cleaning within the framework of daily work, reduced need for blankets and less odour pollution.
