cleaning horsebox flooring.

[not_with_it]

Last time we went out my mare weed in the box. I always put shavings down at the back, so when we got home I swept out the shavings and left it to dry out naturally. When I took the ramp down today there was a mark on the floor.
So I have decided the floor needs a wash.

So the thing that im worried about is.... the flooring is liquid rubber and there are no drainage holes, so lifting it out is not an option. I have no idea what the floor is although I think its probably aluminium. Im just a bit worried about it drying out. I dont want to soak it through and it rot the floor, especilly as it wont dry out properly in this weather.

Shall I just park it on a hill so the water runs out and get the hose on it?

Ours is liquid rubber with holes where the partitions go, but I've washed it out many times.
I do park on a slope and use the pressure washer, and last time it was plated they allowed me to go underneath to see the condition of my floor, which after 9 years still looked in perfect condition, so the washing can't do any harm.
I'd wash it , I use lots of disinfectant too to get rid of that foul wee smell!

I was actually suprised that it didnt smell, there was just a stain where it had dried. Good idea about using disinfectant, I hadnt thougt of that.

I was going to use fairy washing up liquid.

I always ask my mechanic to look at the floor, im so paranoid about it.

buy some jeyes fluid.....tip a small amount into an old bucket..fill bucket to the top..slosh into lorry over stain..leave for 5 minutes then get a hose in it and swill out....park lorry on a slope if you dont have pee holes and leave the ramp open for a couple of hours...

job done!!
