• Then, put it in the washing machine at 30 degrees, without stain remover and without fabric softener.
• Do not put your saddle pad in the dryer, let it air dry.

For waterproof saddle pads:

• You can add a step by re-waterproofing your blanket.
• With a waterproofing spray for blankets, spray from a distance of about 20 cm on the surfaces you want to make waterproof again.
