Disinfecting rubber matting

[Lady_Bug]

How often do you clean your mats and what do you use to do it?

Whenever they smell!

Dettol in a bucket of hot water, chuck it on the matts, scrub with sweeping brush rinse, done.

Mat cleaning a la ramsey! lol

I was advised not to use Jeyes fluid on mine as it could cause the rubber to perish. Generally use a weaker disinfectant such as a supermarket homebrand. My horses now live out 24/7 so mats not used but I tended to clean the Equimats much more often than the heavy black mats due to ease of lifting. Pick a dry day when the stable will air out more quickly.

I use Stablezove powder disinfectant, sprinkle on any really wet patches and put bedding back over.

If you can get hold of one, use a industrial steam cleaner, they use nothing more than tap water, there's no harsh chemicals involved and kills smells by killing the bacteria which makes the smell!
Kills all bugs including MRSA, C-Diff etc etc
Mine belts out the steam at 130 degrees, nothing can survive that and it brings the rubber up nice and clean and dry in a few minutes, it's effortless, no scrubbing !
