Mountain Horse Care Instructions

Mountain Horse products are characterised by their quality and high-tech functions. In order for our products to be able to retain their high quality and work well, it is vital that they are cared for according to the instructions and washing advice on the label or enclosed leaflet. Here are some of the most common symbols with explanations.

Machine wash

These symbols mean that the garment can be machine-washed at the recommended temperature.

A line under the symbol means a gentle wash in a half-full machine and only spin dry the garment for one minute. Only 30 seconds in a separate spin-dry.

 

Hand-wash

Hand-wash only. Max. 40°C. Make sure the washing powder is thoroughly dissolved before washing the garment. Do not soak. Do not leave the garment in the water as the dyes in garments can easily migrate. Do not rub and wring the garment.

This symbol means that the garment must not be washed in water.

 

Dry-clean

These symbols mean that the garment can be dry-cleaned. The various letters show information for the dry-cleaner’s.


Do not dry-clean.

 

 

Drying

Most garments can be spun-dry for one minute. Almost all garments can be tumble-dried too, which is indicated by this symbol. However, woolen garments should never be tumble-dried.

Do not spin-dry.

These drying symbols may also appear on the label. From the left: hang-dry, drip-dry, dry flat.

 

Ironing

The symbol shows that the garment can be ironed and at which temperature (dots).


The garment must not be ironed.

 

 

Bleaching


Can be bleached.   Do not bleach.

Some Washing And Care Advice

Jackets
Close all the zips on the garment before washing. Fasten buttons and close Velcro fasteners on garments. This reduces the risk of damaging the material and any details on the garment.

Riding Breeches
Pull up the zip and turn the breeches inside out before washing. This is gentler on the fabric and edges. It also prevents the zip from causing any damage. Breeches with a Clarino® lining should be gently stretched after washing while they are still damp.

Leather Footwear
Use Shoe Cleaner and Shoe Conditioner or clean with a saddle shampoo and then rub with saddle conditioner or fat.
