Cleaning leather goods:
- Lightly dampen the sponge and apply a leather cleaner.
- Gently scrub the leather surfaces to remove dirt and residue.
- Wipe clean with a dry cloth.

Lathering the Shampoo:
- Wet your horse's coat.
- Dampen the sponge and apply the shampoo.
- Use the sponge to work the shampoo into a lather with circular motions over the coat.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water.

Cleaning Eyes and Sensitive Areas:
- Use a clean, slightly damp sponge.
- Gently wipe around the eyes, nostrils, and other sensitive areas.
- Use soft, careful movements to avoid any irritation.

Avoid scrubbing too vigorously to prevent irritating your horse's skin, especially on sensitive areas.
Use separate sponges for leather equipment, the coat, and sensitive areas to avoid cross-contamination.
Pay attention to your horse's reactions, particularly when cleaning sensitive areas, to make sure he stays comfortable.
Keep the sponge out of reach of children and animals when not in use.
Replace the sponge as soon as it shows signs of wear or deterioration to maintain optimal hygiene.

Rinsing after use:
After each use, rinse the sponge thoroughly with lukewarm water to remove any dirt, shampoo or cleaning product residue.

Drying: Gently squeeze the sponge to remove excess water, then leave it to air dry in a well-ventilated area.

Regular disinfection:
Soak the sponge in a mild disinfectant solution regularly to prevent the build-up of bacteria.

Storage: Store the sponge in a clean, dry place to prevent mould and unpleasant odours.
