Orvus
Orvus is a concentrated paste shampoo used by professional grooms and showing yards worldwide. The soapless formula is gentle enough for regular use while being effective at lifting stubborn stains from coats, manes and tails.
Why Paste Shampoo
Unlike liquid shampoos, Orvus comes as a solid paste that you dilute before use. A small amount goes a long way, making the 3.4kg tub economical for yards with multiple horses. The paste format also means no wasted product from spills or leaks.
Stain Removal
Orvus excels at removing grass stains, manure marks and ground in dirt that regular shampoos struggle with. The formula penetrates the coat and lifts stains without harsh scrubbing. It rinses cleanly, leaving no residue that could dull the coat or attract dust.
Gentle on Skin
Despite its cleaning power, Orvus is pH neutral and gentle on sensitive skin. It suits horses prone to irritation and is also safe for use on dogs and livestock. Many riders use it on horses with minor skin conditions where harsher shampoos might cause problems.
Show Preparation
Orvus has been a staple in showing circles for decades. It produces a deep clean that brings out natural coat shine, making it ideal for pre-competition baths. The shampoo works on all coat colours, including greys and whites where staining is most visible.
