Cleaning Instructions
Suede or Suede/Felt Pads
The suede or suede/felt SaddleRight pads are designed to be used with or without a liner. We suggest using our custom fitted wool felt liners under our pads. Allow the pad to dry inside outward after each use. Storing your pad inside outward in a hanging position in a ventilated location is recommended.
Cleaning Steps:
• At least once per month, brush the top side of the pad with a soft brush to remove dust and debris. Remove the hair from the underside of the pad with a medium to stiff textured brush or rubber curry. Avoid using metal serrated or wire type objects that can tear and weaken the felt lining. Vacuuming the pad is also a suggested step.
• You may use saddle soap or diluted Dawn dish soap and wet sponge to clean the cover and the underside of the pad. Rinse until water runs clean.
• Extremely dirty, sweaty pads may become very hard and stiff. This can be VERY uncomfortable and damaging to your horse’s health and performance. Lay the pad on a hard surface with the underside exposed. Using a hammer, pound the surface of all hard spots. This will break up the solid sweat and dirt. Use a power washer with a conventional nozzle or garden hose to rinse. Follow with a saddle soap or diluted Dawn dish soap and rinse until clear. (DO NOT POWER WASH AT CLOSE RANGE.)
• Line dry inside outward in a hanging position until dry. A leather balm or leather conditioner should be used on any leather surfaces.
• Drying time is subject to climate and can be hours to 1-3 days to dry.
Glove Leather Pads or Grizzly Pads
• Clean the cover using a leather cleaner or saddle soap. Follow with a quality leather conditioner. Avoid wax-based products. Clean the underside as directed above.
Custom Wool Liners
• Hand wash in cold water with a non-bleach soap or Dawn dish soap. Line dry.
• Liners can be washed in an agitator free washer. Line dry.
• The liners are made of wool and may be subject to shrinkage. They are made with a margin for the anticipated 1 inch shrinkage.
