Medical Issues
These Blankets have direct body contact with the animal, therefore sweating, dust irritation, manure and bacteria leading to contamination and possible dermatomycosis and alopecia and/or weeping wounds will be reduced if the blankets are kept clean and free from unwanted livestock and dirt.
Textile cleaning horse blankets and covers whats entailed.
Proper washing, and cleaning processes can rid items of parasites, mites, bird lice etc. and prevent the spread of infections and desease and improve the wellbeing of your animals.
Professional Equipment the Advantages, why have a commercial machine?
A Large drum, with high agitation, direct drain are all important aspects, which point in the direction of a large commercail machine of at least 14Kg or 140 drum litres volume. Large winter Horse-Blankets will only fit into a 140 litre drum with a chance of enough space to get a good wash. Not to mention the size of the door which needs to be quite large too. A commercial machine will provide many years of use with minimal need for maintainance and down time. The wash quality will be be higher and more consistantly controlled than could be expected with a small domestic or top loading machine.

Drying
Although wash care labels generally prohibit tumble drying, it has been shown that low temperature drying does not cause shrinkage and does benefit the effective removal of hairs; these are collected in the lint filter and can be removed easily.The blankets can then be placed on racks in an airing room to dry out completely.
Programming
Special programmes can be built in, or may be added to for special additional applications.
Depending on the type and manufacturer of the product, Miele do a range of programs and detergent pump systems for top quality equestrian centres throughout the world.
