Beds full of blankets arrive at our shop looking like this. Keeping them piled up exposes them to mold and mice while neglecting to have washed and waterproofed regularly degrades their ability to keep your horse warm and dry.

Washed, repaired, waterproofed, altered, etc. items are returned to you in clear, vinyl zippered blanket bag.

Washing, Disinfecting, Deodorizing & Waterproofing Techniques
We encourage you to begin thinking about getting your horse's wardrobe cleaned and packaged for storage as soon as the warmer weather arrives in late March, April and May. Allowing soiled blankets to sit for weeks or months will allow the ammonias from the manure and the ground-in dirt to weaken the fibers of the blanket materials, thus making them more susceptible to tears, and compromising the durable water repellency of the fabric.
Keeping your animals healthy and happy during adverse weather conditions requires some work if you have made the choice to blanket them. However, we can lighten that load for you considerably. We offer free drop-off and pick-up locations and can ship your blanket. We use environmentally safe washing, disinfecting, deodorizing and re-waterproofing techniques and EXPERT REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS done on our industrial grade sewing machines.
No detergents should EVER be used on articles of horse clothing (if for no other reason than the chemicals, color dyes and fragrances contained may prove irritating to your equines' sensitive skin!) Only products approved by internationally known blanket manufacturers are used in our shop, including NIKWAX brand products - the global authority in waterproofing and safe washing products since 1977, and the ONLY waterproofing product free of ALL fluorocarbons.
All items are washed according to manufacturer's instructions. Not all blankets require cold water wash - but any containing cotton or wool must always be washed in cold water to reduce the chance of shrinkage. You can be assured that your blanket's care label will be read and that those instructions will be followed to the letter! This also means that all items are line dried outside (preferably) or inside in a climate-controlled environment.
For more information regarding pricing, free drop off locations, shop drop offs or to arrange a pick up at your location, please call or text Janice at (410) 726-1777.
***We service customers from all over the USA - from Oregon, to South Dakota, to Vermont and Georgia!! If you need us, box up your items and ship to us. We offer a discount for cleaning for ship-ins to help offset the shipping costs! Contact us for more information.***
