My stables (at the yard where I'm on livery - just to be specific ) have a concrete base with no drainage. My bedding is straw, and at the moment I put the bed up every night while the horses are out, and put it down in the morning before I bring them in. The boxes are in a high roofed barn, so plenty of ventilation
This weekend I cleared out all of the bedding, and scrubbed the floors to take up all of the encrustations.
When I put the beds up last night they are still eye-wateringly smelly.
Is there anything I could use to wash them down with/powder etc that would cut through the smell? If a cat pees in the house I use an enzymatic cleaner - could I use something similar in the stable?
I can only do a deep clean at the weekend as I can turn them out on a Saturday afternoon and leave them until Monday morning. My fields, especially the top one, have no shade, and I don't have enough grass to turn them out for longer, even if I could get permission to leave them out.
