Product Information
Full details
The Lincoln Oval Wash Brush is designed for horse owners and stable managers seeking an efficient way to bathe their animals. It offers a dual-action cleaning system that combines deep-cleansing bristles with a moisture-retaining sponge, significantly cutting down grooming time; however, users should note that the brush requires regular cleaning to prevent shampoo buildup within the sponge core.

FAQs
Is this brush safe for a horse's face?
While the bristles are effective for the body, they may be too firm for the sensitive skin on the face. We recommend using a softer cloth or soft-bristled face brush for the head area.
Can I use this brush on my dog?
Yes, the design is suitable for larger dog breeds with thick coats, though you should monitor for skin sensitivity.
How long does the sponge last?
With proper rinsing and drying after each use, the sponge will last for several seasons of regular grooming.
Will the bristles flatten over time?
High-quality synthetic bristles are used to maintain their shape, but storing the brush bristle-side down can cause deformation. Always store it on its side or hanging.
Does it work with medicated shampoos?
Yes, the brush is chemically resistant to standard medicated equine shampoos.
Troubleshooting
The brush is not producing enough lather
Ensure the sponge is fully saturated with water and shampoo before starting, or add more concentrated shampoo directly to the sponge.
The brush smells musty after a few days
The sponge has likely retained soap or bacteria; soak the brush in a mild disinfectant solution, rinse thoroughly, and ensure it dries completely in direct sunlight.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Efficiently creates and maintains a rich lather
- Bristles reach deep for a thorough coat clean

Cons
- Sponge requires thorough rinsing to avoid odor
- Bristles may be too firm for sensitive areas like the face
- Not machine washable
Setup, Compatibility & Care
This brush requires no assembly; it is ready to use immediately. It is compatible with all standard equine shampoo formulations. To maintain the life of your brush:
- Rinse thoroughly after every use to remove all soap residue from the sponge and bristles.
- Gently squeeze the sponge to remove excess water.
- Allow the brush to air dry in a well-ventilated area with the bristle side facing down.
- Avoid leaving the brush submerged in a bucket for extended periods, as this can degrade the bond between the sponge and the handle.
