What are the benefits of doing this?
I have read in another post on HHO, and someone said that you can use a wallpaper steamer to steam your hay.
Is this right, and if so, how does it work?
My old boy has quite a bad cough, i think it is due to dusty hay, and the proper Hay steamers seem to be very expensive.
Thanks in advance. x
 
wallpaper steamer and a water butt, attach the hose to the bottom of the butt and hey presto. BUT I am now on steamer number 3 as they keep cutting out after a little while so have placed a post in stable yard asking people if their wallpaper steamers last and if so what make as I have tried 2 diff makes so far and still having issues. Might try a Bosche instead.
 
I use a big professional wall paper stripper.
The benefits are eliminating dust and spores.
It also uses a lot less water than soaking hay, my husband is very pleased about this as we're on a water metre.
It takes a fraction of the time to.

Ashgrove where did you get yours from and how much please? thanks
 
My stripper conked out too, but it had worked hard for an hour every day for 3 months! I'm toying with taking it back to B&Q as its guaranteed for 2 yrs, but I've lost the receipt. It cost £33, but I think they may query why its so furred up with limescale! Thinking I've had my money's worth & may buy a Bosch heavy duty one for next winter.

My homemade steamer (wheelie bin) was brilliant. It steamed 2 nets together & I had it on a timer so that it was all done for evening stables. Many of the commercial ones are little more than the above & use wallpaper strippers in disguise.
