Saddle Blanket Care: Hand wash your best blankets in cold water. Use your fingers to work your water through the fibers as needed. Washing machines will tear your investments all apart! If you must use a detergent, use a very mild dish detergent, or the same mild shampoo you would use on your hair. Rinse with cold water. Using salty water will help set the colors on your brightest colored blankets. On show blankets with wear leathers, use much caution not to get the tooled wear leathers too wet. Tooling will dissipate when soaked. Dyes will bleed onto each other. SPOT WASH only what is dirty. Use a bottom liner. Use Lexol on the wear leathers after cleaning to recondition your leather. Keep your leather conditioner at least 1/4 inch from the edges of your blanket's woven fabric. The conditioner will bleed into those edges. If you get too close, you can cause the leather's dye to bleed onto the woven fibers. If this happens, it will never come back out. Take your time. NOTE: If you are using your blankets directly on the back of your horse, rather than with a bottom liner pad, Mayatex advises that even soaps made for fine wools can have surfactant residue left within the fibers. This surfactant will show itself at the next heavy sweating.
