Use a suede brush, which has brass bristles. If there's any staining then they need dry cleaning.. What jumping competition has chaps in the dress code?!

Answer 8

im a bsja showjumper and i use suede chaps for schooling of lessons i clean mine by using a suede brush to get all the dirt off then i use a damp cloth and brush with baby shampoo of very mild washing powder (only a tiny amount) and scrub them! i then rince then in very luke warm water and leave them to dry! the more water you use the more likely they will go hard.. invest in a pair of leather gaiters for competions and use your chaps for everyday use! you can pick these up reasonably cheap and they will last you for ages and also look smart too!

Answer 9

Hi,. . I suggest that you use a gentle soap like Ecover for delicates and mix it with some luke warm water and hand wash (the dye will come out of them, so wash separately) . Rinse and pat dry, then allow to dry naturally. You can brush up the suede with a suede brush to get them back to looking how they were.. . Hope that helps. . Rosie

Answer 10

they'll be OK in the wash, that's what i do with mine.. any detergent is ok, just make sure they go in on a cool wash and a slow spin, then hang them to dry.. good luck with your competition!!
