How do you take care of your ThinLine Trifecta Half Pad with Sheepskin Rolls?
Regular maintenance:Dry between rides. Place the pad sheepskin face up in a cool environment, in humid climates use a fan to blow over the pad.Once the pad is dry, lightly brush it with a pet brushto help to keep the wool fluffy and resilient for the next ride.
Washing and drying:Sheepskin saddle pads are best washed by hand in cold water. Use a soap designed for sheepskin to keep your pad under warranty. You may machine wash (although hand wash is preferred) in a front loader, no agitators against the ThinLine panels, gentle wash cycle, cold. Remove excess water in the pad by squeezing the water out or placing it in your washing machine on the spin cycle.
Fill the washing machine (or bathtub for really large items) with water, then add a sheepskin soap. Soak for 1-hour squeezing soap and water through the item from time to time. If the item is really dirty you may need to repeat the process. Squeeze or use the spin cycle to remove excess water and lay over a rack or rail to dry with sheepskin facing up. Keep out of the sun, and away from direct heat and dryers. Please do not brush or pull sheepskin fibres when wet. To prevent shrinkage, gently stretch the hide while drying.
On white pads, you may use Scotch Guard to the rolls to keep them clean and extend washing cycles.
