Try something called Green Gloop. Very good and smells okay too

Jeyes Fluid or Green Gloop.

Jeyes Fluid or Green Gloop.

As above, however, jeyes can rot rubber matting. Green gloop is safe on rubber and is available to order from Field Guard.

I use jeyes, although if I don't want to get stable wet I use the jeyes bin powder and sweep it about. When mattings down I sprinkle carbolic powder down and brush it around, doesn't (well hasn't in 4 yrs) affected my mats!

I use Safe4, it is veterinary strength but completely harmless to animals so it doesnt matter if horse comes into contact with it even when it's wet. Also comes in a variety of nice smells

Virkon.

Green gloop from fieldguard its completely safe for horses works well and nice smell. I give my rubber matted stables a quick rinse out with diluted gloop at least once a week, and use it in a more concentrated form to disinfect every so often .

Don't use Jeyes fluid if you have a cat around.
