Cleaning riding gear - that's how it works

The beautiful light or even white breeches was slobbered by the horse and now has green or orange spots?

The good light bandages or leggings are full of mud and can not go away with water?

On the saddle pad are indefinable stains that just do not go out during normal washing?


Anyone familiar with horses knows this kind of problem, but what is the best way to do it?

How do you get bright riding stuff again?

If such stubborn stains are still there after the normal wash cycle, simply work with gall soap, let it soak in and put it back in the washing machine. Even in extreme mud spots, the gall soap left almost half a day (was a white saddle pad) and then washed with other riding stuff.

If nothing works and you have almost given up hope: try Chlorix. The stuff is also suitable to bring laundry back to white (even on the bottle with it).


When small things in a container or in the sink, possibly dilute with water and leave to act. For larger things dab on the stain and let it work. Then simply put in the washing machine and wash.

If there's still the stain on it, try it again, but it has never had anything to see after the treatment. Otherwise, I would know nothing more except just to use these things as "dirty things" to use for other things, redesign or cut the barrel.
