I'm sure you could stealth your way around town, but it would be less stressful and much more pleasant to develop a relationship with a store. Call around or go visit the stores and talk to the management about what you want to wash and show that you want to be considerate to their equipment and space. They'll be much more willing to have your business than if they catch you disobeying their rules. It's the SIZE, HARDWARE, and DIRT/HAIR that causes problems. If you remove as much of the surface dirt/hair by vacuuming or brushing, cover your hardware, use appropriate sized machines, and bring the blankets in laundry baskets you shouldn't be too much of a problem. While waiting for my blanket I noticed a sign hung up on the change machine that said "In consideration of our customers, we will no longer allow horse blankets to be washed in this facility" but that sign has been there as long as I've been going there and they've simply told me to use the crappy machines instead of the nice ones. Again, if you talk to them they'll be more willing. :)Rebecca Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17058661062366527906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1733109971235989183.post-5356963381522713992012-02-12T08:59:12.240-05:002012-02-12T08:59:12.240-05:00I just do my english pads at home, I just lay the ...I just do my english pads at home, I just lay the blanket on the floor and use the vacuum to get as much hair off as I can. I have a normal, small washer, but it was free so I don't mind being rough on it. :)Rebecca Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17058661062366527906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1733109971235989183.post-50073882290469559462012-02-12T07:15:55.721-05:002012-02-12T07:15:55.721-05:00OMG!
