The Blanket Safe Horse Blanket Wash and Deodorizer is a cold water wash that is detergent-free. It is low-sudsing, residue free, and has built in deodorizers. The deodorizer is all made from EPA approved raw materials. These soaps are safe for animals and children once dry. This wash will not only gently clean your blanket of dirt, but the bacteria and grime that cause gross odors! The washes will not ruin or deteriorate your factory applied waterproofing, although it is recommended that you re-proof your blankets after the first 2 seasons of use. This detergent-free wash has no harmful chemicals making it very safe for sensitive horses and can lower the risk of further skin issues. Washing in cold water lengthens the life of most fabrics and can reduce the degrading of your blankets. This product does not block the breathability of your blankets and sheets. The soap comes in a 33.8 oz. container that will wash 4-5 loads depending on soiling and load size (based on a 65-70 lb. washer). This horse grooming product can be used on your saddle pads and saddle blankets, but not recommended for high-end natural fibers such as wool, New Zealand wool, and high fiber cottons, or natural fleece. The cherry detergent is recommended for use on synthetic fiber pads and blankets such as acrylic, acrylic blends, cotton blends, polyester, and poly blends. You should always test in a small area before washing if you are not sure. This soap is made in America.
