FAQs

What is the Lincoln Cactus Cloth made of?

The Lincoln Cactus Cloth is made from natural sisal fibers.

How often should I clean the Cactus Cloth?

It is recommended to rinse the cloth after each use and hand wash with mild soap when it appears dirty or to remove built-up residue.

Can I use the Cactus Cloth on a wet horse?

Yes, the cloth can be used on a damp or dry coat. Slightly dampening the cloth can often enhance its effectiveness in removing stains.

Will this cloth remove caked-on mud?

The Cactus Cloth is best for surface dirt, sweat marks, and grass stains. For heavily caked-on mud, it's best to start with a more robust cleaning method like hosing or a stiff brush first, then use the Cactus Cloth for finishing.

Is the sisal material safe for all horses?

The sisal is generally safe and effective, but horses with extremely sensitive skin might find it slightly abrasive. Always observe your horse's reaction during use.

Can I machine wash the Cactus Cloth?

It is not recommended to machine wash the Cactus Cloth. Hand washing with mild soap and air drying will help preserve the integrity of the natural sisal fibers.

What is the main benefit of using this cloth?

The main benefit is its ability to effortlessly remove sweat marks, grass stains, and dirt, while simultaneously enhancing the coat's natural brightness and sheen.

Troubleshooting

Cloth is not removing stains effectively.

Ensure the cloth is clean and slightly damp. For stubborn stains, pre-treat the area with a suitable horse grooming spray and allow it to sit for a minute before using the cloth. Repeated gentle applications may be necessary.

Cloth feels stiff or rough.

This is normal for dry sisal. Dampen the cloth slightly before use. If it remains persistently stiff after washing and drying, it may indicate it has dried out too much; try re-dampening it more thoroughly.

Horse shows signs of irritation when the cloth is used.

Discontinue use immediately. The horse may have sensitive skin. Try a softer grooming tool or use the Cactus Cloth with extreme gentleness and only on less sensitive areas, always ensuring it is slightly damp.

Cloth develops a musty smell.

This indicates the cloth was not dried completely before storage. Hand wash the cloth thoroughly with mild soap and water, then ensure it is hung to air dry completely in a sunny, well-ventilated spot before storing.

Care Instructions: To maintain the cloth's effectiveness and longevity:
