Why Use Nikwax Rug Wash?

A dirty rug is more than just unsightly—it’s less effective. Dirt, sweat, and traditional laundry detergents can clog fabric pores and strip away Durable Water Repellency (DWR). When the outer layer gets saturated, the blanket loses breathability, making your horse clammy, cold, and uncomfortable.

Nikwax Rug Wash not only cleans but restores the protective qualities of your animal’s gear—keeping them dry, warm, and happy in all conditions.

When Should You Use It?

• When water no longer beads on the surface of your horse’s blanket

• After a muddy or rainy ride

• Before storing rugs at the end of the season

• After exposure to sweat, mud, or stable grime

How to Use

Machine Wash (Top-Loading or Front-Loading)

• Remove all non-washable parts.

• Use 3.5–5 fl oz per blanket (see label for water hardness adjustments).

• Select a Warm/Heavy Duty or Synthetic cycle depending on your washer.

• For large blankets, commercial laundromats are recommended.

Hand Wash

• Dilute 1 part Rug Wash with 2 parts hot water.

• Scrub with a soft brush or sponge, focusing on soiled areas.

• Rinse thoroughly and let air dry.

🌤 Pro Tip: Reproof rugs with Nikwax Rug Proof at least once a year to maintain waterproofing.
