Equestrian and Animal Centres

Equestrian and Animal Centres

Forbes Professional provides a wide range of commercial laundry machines, auto-dosing equipment and chemical detergents to equestrian and animal centres. 

For a livery, cattery or kennels or dog grooming business, keeping animal blankets, rugs and bedding clean and free from disease is of paramount importance. Domestic machines simply cannot provide the disinfection cycles or wash capacity that is required within an animal care setting. Our range of commercial laundry solutions for pet care operations ranges from small, stackable units to large capacity Miele commercial washers and dryers. Equestrian laundry is a very specialist area that necessitates commercial washing machines that can handle large horse rugs as well as saddlecloths, girths and halters. As with all animal care laundry, it also raises the issue of animal hair and mud. As a result, some commercial laundries are unable to accept this type of equestrian equipment.

Laundering in-house can deliver can give back financial and logistical control to the animal centre, but it is essential to make the right procurement decisions. The efficient processing of saddle covers, blankets and sweat rugs is key to reducing the risk of skin infections such as equine fungal conditions, and immaculately sanitised equestrian textiles are essential for creating the right impression at competitions. Our Miele professional machines are heavy-duty, durable and robust enough to handle the laundry generated in any animal care environment.  With industry-specific functionality and programmes to rid animal blankets, bedding and other equipment from hair and bacteria,  our commercial washing machines and tumble dryers deliver an optimum clean whilst being highly energy and water-efficient.

Forbes Professional provides laundry equipment on a purchase, lease or rental basis, and equipment is fully installed, commissioned and serviced by our team of manufacturer-trained engineers. Ongoing service requirements or detergent provision are handled centrally from our head office for a streamlined process though a sole point of contact.
