newer materials really give you a hard time getting them clean.
You can’t use bleach on the expensive ones, because you end up
with holes in them.”
Suzi’s modern method for getting breeches clean involves
a fair amount of muscle and ingenuity, not to mention product.
She puts dirty white polo pants in a dish pan with dish detergent,
scrubs them with a brush and lets them soak. Then she transfers
the breeches to the washing machine with Oxy-Clean, Tide and
Shout.
“I add it all into the wash – probably ½ cup of Shout and Oxy-
Clean and enough Tide for whatever size load it is,” she explains.
“Then I let them soak for hours and hours – and I brush the stains
again. Someone told me to use that jell-Tide stuff, but every time I
use it, it leaves streaks in the fabric. So, I don’t use that anymore.
I’ve even used the old-time washboard – I have my mother’s – I’ve
scrubbed dirty breeches with that.”
At Overlook Farm (Berryville, VA) during the “Ticket Round”
show jumping schooling day that raised funds for Boyd Martin and
his team after a devastating barn fre in May, one parent offered
the following advice for breeches of any color. “The breeches
have to be mostly cotton: spot on bleach with a Q-tip and wash
immediately – I have a front loader and useAmway HE (low suds),”
says Trish Conk who does dressage out of her Bright Moon Farm
(Winchester, VA). “Use white vinegar in the second rinse to get
out all the bleach. If the stains don’t come right out, repeat while
still wet. Be sure to use vinegar in the second rinse.” Bleach,
tough on stains, can be hell on fabrics. Caution is advised when
using it and if you spill it straight onto clothing or your skin, fush
immediately with cool running water until the bleachy odor’s gone.
“You know the best thing? White painter’s pants from Wal-Mart
- you can get them cleaner than anything,” admits Suzi. “You just
cut the painter’s loops off that you hang the brushes in. You can
use Clorox bleach with those and once they wear out with too
much bleach, who cares! They were less than $20 a pair – not
$120 or more.”
Hmmm – intriguing idea: wonder if white cotton painter’s pants
are comfortable for fat work, cross-country schooling and on the
trails…
