Has anyone heard of this? A friend swears by it for removing stable stains... Seems weird to me!

More to the point, does it work?
 
Never heard of it but will defo be trying it on one of my hunters next season! He is grey and always has more s**t on him than he leaves in his bed! Ive heard that blue bag is good for getting greys back to white though, Im just having trouble finding it!

Never heard of it myself. When I asked for help in removing a very bad stable stain it was suggested I used Swarfega which worked a treat!

I'm not suprised TBH - after watching kim and aggy remove the most awful dirt and stains with it on their show last night I think it would remove anything. Shaving foam apparantly has a very high concentrated soap content.
 
Ohhh wow, will be trying that tomorrow. My mum will be soooo pleased when she notices that her shaving foam is missing from her bathroom along with her sun cream, shower puff......

Greys are high maintenance but the best by far!!!!
 
Hiya Bexaco, swarfega is used by mechanics to remove oil and grease from hands etc . You use the conventional stuff neat and don't use it with water. Once it has been rubbed in hands and grime is removed you just dry them and then can wash in the conventional way afterwards. On horses I would suggest washing off with soap and water after it has been wiped off though as I would be a little uncertain of leaving any residue on their skin afterwards.
Haven't used it in a while as my ex was the car man as partner rarily touches his. Think it was green if my memory serves me correctly and looks like thick hair gel. There are different variations though but the make swarfega is gel like.
