I bought this and the waterproofing and went to it. One rug at a time! They all are now clean and waterproof! I will say, USE THE EXTRA RINSE CYCLE as recommended on the bottle! It will leave a film if not. But I would wash with this then go right to washing with the waterproof bottle and hang to dry! 12 rugs later, the bottles are almost empty! Praying I did it right!

I use detergent designed for baby clothes to wash saddle pads and blanket liners. **Q: How many ounces are in this bottle? Is it the 34 ounce size?** A: yes 34 oz. I can usually get to horse blanket washes out of the bottle. **Q: how many blankets/sheets does one bottle clean ?** A: many. i think the instructions say to use 5 fluid oz per blanket and this bottle contains almost 34 fluid oz. it's a great product! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great stuff for DIY horse blanket care! *by B***E on February 15, 2026* Well, after our first snow storm in Texas for 2026, I found my horse’s winter gear was not holding up!

Praying I did it right! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great job *by A***R on January 14, 2026* Cleaned well with just one wash ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Updated Feb 2021 Works well. *by P***D on May 6, 2018* I've been using this for a year now, in Oregon where we get a lot of rain and mud. I think it does a great job. First I soak the rug in one of those muck buckets overnight to loosen all the dirt and mud off, then I drain it, put it in the washing machine, add 5oz of Rug Wash and do a load meant for towels with 2 rinses so they get another good soak and all the soap rinsed off. I have a POS washing machine so I don't care if I kill it with horse hair, but you may feel differently about yours. Out of the washer, I hang it on a line to dry. Once it's dry I test it's waterproofing by dribbling some water on it and seeing if it runs off. If it does, I'm good. If not, it needs to be treated with the Rug Proof. So far only the rugs I previously washed with laundry detergent needed to be treated with Rug Proof, so if you start out using this stuff, you'll probably get a few washing without needing any extra steps. On a side note, I use a clean muck bucket when I do the Rug Proof as well. Load the clean dry blanket in the muck bucket, pour in 5 gallons water, pour in 17oz of the Rug Proof and then use a clean toilet plunger to mix it around. You don't want it on your hands, it's irritating stuff. Let it sit for 2 hours to overnight, then lift the blanket out, squeezing out the liquid as you go. Put the blanket in the washing machine on quick wash with NO soap and let it get rinsed out. (most new washers rinse and drain cycle don't get all the Rug Proof out sufficiently) Hang to dry. Now you have a muck bucket with great waterproofing left over, go ahead and waterproof all that old ski gear, tents, mittens, gloves, rain coats.... almost any material you want water proofed and breathable. Updated part: I'm still using it. I think it still works really well on fairly new blankets or ones that the waterproof membrane hasn't been compromised or gotten old. Once that happens, it's probably not going to work but then I don't think much of anything will. ## Frequently Bought Together - Nikwax RUG WASH Non-Detergent Equestrian Cleaner - Performance Cleaner for Horse Rugs, Animal Coats and Pet Beds with Breathable Linings - Nikwax Unisex Nikwax Proof, Blue, 1L, Pack of 1 - Nikwax Rug Proof Waterproofing, 33.8 fl. oz. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/2234904-rug-wash-1l](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/2234904-rug-wash-1l) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
