CARE GUIDE RIDING PANTS
Your ALEQUI breeches are made to maintain the highest quality possible so that they can last a long time. And when the breeches end up in your hands, of course we want to give you the best possible guidance so that you can give the breeches a long life with many wonderful rides.
By helping your breeches last longer, you save both on the wallet and the environment. Therefore, we have now collected and shared our best tips so that you can keep your breeches looking good for as long as possible.
WIND MORE - WASH LESS
Washing less often slows down the wear of colors, fibers and the aging of your breeches. You need to wash your riding clothes when they smell bad or look dirty, in many cases it is enough to air the trousers between uses.
Not washing them after each use is responsible for both the laundry basket, the wallet and above all the environment.
FOLLOW THE WASHING INSTRUCTIONS
Different clothes have different needs and the laundry should be sorted accordingly. The breeches feel best when they are washed inside out. Then follow the washing symbols and washing instructions carefully on the inside. In the vast majority of cases, this means washing them cold or at 30° and with similar colors. We have designed the instructions for one reason - to keep the clothes in the best shape and at the same time not push the environment too hard.
And do you have a horse that sheds in the spring? Then it can help to vacuum the hair before washing.
USE THE RIGHT DETERGENT
Choose an environmentally friendly detergent and do not use too much of it - overdosing will not make your breeches cleaner.
Do not use bleach as it contains strong substances that wear out the fibers and grip of the breeches. Instead, try washing your white garments with a mixture of a little vinegar and a squeeze of lemon juice to restore the crispiness and take care of the environment.
DON'T DRY US!
Skip the dryer is probably the most important choice both when it comes to doing the environment a favor and giving your breeches a long life. Not all clothes and materials can withstand the heat in a tumble dryer and can cause the fibers in your clothes to be destroyed and worn out much faster than they should.
The silicone grip in the breeches can be sensitive to heat and they should therefore not be tumble-dried, if you do, it may happen that the silicone contracts and in the long run cause it to start to loosen.
HAPPENED TO AN EXTRA Stubborn STAIN?
Then it is important to treat the stain as soon as possible after you discover it. The longer the stain takes and dries, the more likely it is to stay for good. For most stains, an ice-cold soak combined with rubbing is an effective first tool. If it still wouldn't go away, you can advantageously use bile soap or a little varnish that is gently rubbed into the stain and left for a couple of hours before throwing them into the machine.
