Nikwax Rug Wash 5L
Wash-in cleaner for all horse rugs
Safely revitalises insulation and water repellency. If a breathable waterproof rug loses its water repellency, it will suffer a severe reduction in its ability to breathe. This will lead to a build up of condensation on the inside of the rug so the horse will become clammy, cold and uncomfortable. Always use Nikwax Rug Wash for cleaning breathable waterproof horse rugs such as those made by Rambo.
Benefits:
Does not contain fluorocarbons
Ideal For:
- All equestrian horse rugs including high activity and technically advanced rugs
-
Recommended for use on Rambo Rugs
