| the local laundry mat, use one of the big washers :) they just love it when you wash your horse stuff there! I always pay for a second wash, and just put some detergent to clean the washer when I'm done. |

| I may be the only one that does this but I just wash them myself and then air dry. So far, no problems! |

Location: DUMPING CATS AND PIGS IN TEXAS :) | I may wait for the next large rain and put Dawn dishwashing liquid on it, then turn the big boy loose in the weather lol. I, also, thought of putting it on the hood of my truck and going through a drive thru car wash. |

I tried that they get angry at the car wash cuz those machines drag the blanket off of your truck and get stuck in the brushes!! I am not allowed to come back to that carwash! |

Laundromat late at night :) and I always let mine hang dry! If you have barstools for your kitchen/dining room they work extremely well to drape blankets and coolers over. |

...in Canada. I'd be better off just buying a new blanket. It would cost me $3000 to drive to Canada to wash my blankets. |

| I just wash them in my washer and dry them in the dryer if the weather is too cold here. I just run soap, lemon juice and some baking soda through the washer after and I usually wipe the dryer down after. In the summer I just lay them out throw some soap on them and hose them off. |

Location: The best kept secret in TX | Laundromat. But I run an empty cycle through to clean it... We only have one that lets us wash them in town now... The rest have big signs saying No Equine/Horse related items including but not limited to blankets, saddle blankets, throws, and turnouts.
Guess they got tired of our horsies cologne? |
