I got got a text from my mates wife saying that she had textile cloths and was wondering if she had to treat them with anything and if so how offten. I had no idead as I don't go out in the wet but any advices would help.

First remove all the armour, then wash on a cool wash with Nikwax Tech Wash (you can apply it direct to the garment first to pre-treat any bad stains). Then wash the garment again using Nikwax TX Direct to re-proof it. Next tumble dry it to re-activate the water proofing.

There are various products available, but I have found Nikwax to be very good.

Just re-read your original post, on average it's best to wash and re-proof textiles every 6 months, but varies dependant on how much riding you do.

Anyone know of any decent leather cleaner aswell? For white

You can get any weatherproofing wash from most dry cleaners or places like Blacks. Just have to wash it in the stuff.
