Try Fieldguard Green Gloop, not cheap but smells fab and very effective. Whatever you do don't use jeyes Fluid on rubber as it causes it to break down.

I have got stable fresh, its about 9 quid for a huge 5 gallon container (i think) and you dilute it 1 part to 99 so it should last ages.....
I have had a real problem with smelly mats so I took them all out, washed the stable with green gloop, then put the mats back down with plenty of green gloop underneath.
Now each time i muck out i spray the mats with stable fresh and there is not a smell at all, previously the box stank of amonia (have changed to shavings as well).

Pressure washer for cleaning and 2 pairs of G-clamps for carrying the mats in and out to be cleaned.

Hi
I used to have rubber mats underneath a good bed of shavings....each day I used to use a powder (i think it was pink) on the mats to keep the stable smelling neutral all the time. I'm sorry but I can't remember the name, your feed merchant should have some.

It's worse on the porous rubber crumb type mats which are bonded together with a special adhesive. If they are solid rubber and you rinse well you may get away with it.
