Care Instructions
To maintain the lambskin’s quality and breathability, the pad should be washed regularly depending on usage. If used two to three times per week, it should be washed approximately every two weeks. When the lambskin becomes heavily soaked with sweat, it should be washed immediately after use, as the ammonia in horse sweat can damage the material. Since lambskin absorbs moisture very well, the pad should only be used again once it is completely dry. This helps preserve its breathability. If the pad does not have sufficient drying time between rides, it is advisable to keep multiple pads and use them alternately.
Step 1: Washing
Machine washing is recommended, as it is far more effective than hand washing. Use a normal spin cycle at 30 °C and select the “extra water” option or pour an additional 3–4 litres of water into the detergent compartment about 10 minutes after the cycle starts. We recommend MELP special detergent by Mattes, which cleans and conditions both lambskin and leather. Do not use fabric softener or bleach and avoid overloading the washing machine.
Step 2: Drying
Remove the pad from the washing machine immediately after the cycle ends. It may be tumble-dried on a cool or cold setting (maximum 30 °C) or air-dried in the shade. Do not expose the pad to direct heat sources (such as radiators) or direct sunlight.
Storage
Do not store the pad in a plastic bag. Keep it in a dry, shaded place. If it will not be used for a longer period, wash it first and ensure it is completely dry before storing. We recommend using moth protection during storage.
