Saddle pads quickly become dirty in daily use, as dirt and sweat get trapped in them. If the dirt has not yet advanced so far, brushing out dust and dirt with a soft brush is sufficient. If, however, washing can no longer be avoided, make sure that all Velcro fastenings are closed before washing and remove coarse, loose horse hair with a soft brush. In order to maintain the shape of the saddle pads, they should not be washed at more than 40°C. It is also advisable to spin the saddle pads as little as possible so that they can be pulled back into shape after washing. After the saddle pad has been air-dried, it can be used again in the stable.
