You can get dustbin powder which would stop the smell but I haven't tried it.Try to google stable disinfectant powder and there is a product

This is one product but not the one Im using just now
Cant think of company name either

Jeyes Bin Fresh for the floor, it comes in either normal jeyes smell or lemon. It disinfects without you having to soak your floor. It's about £1.99p from Wilkinsons etc

hay under the bedding will help soak up wetness.

I used to use Stablezone, but now use Chinchilla Dust (it's about £12 for a 15kg sack), which is a really absorbent powder.

MEGAZORB!!!!

Its incredibly absorbant, comes in a big sack and can be used either as a total bedding, a layer under shavings or for soaking up spills/wee puddles when the bed goes up. Your feed merchant should have it/get it. Chuck it down on the wet bit and walk away for a few hours.

Its similar to the stuff workshops use to soak up chemical/oil spills.

Dont use hay...it will grow the most disgusting spores and bacteria, not healthy.

can you really use the Jeyes binfresh...... I had a look as so many people said it but it says its corrosive and not to get on the skin!!!

My horses stable is very smelly despite me lifting the rubber mats and using Green Gloop (fieldguard)!!!

Help!!

I have also used Reosan which smells of bubble gum and is for killing the smell in rubbish shoots and rubbish dumps etc...

 

[spaniel]

Noooo....dont use bin type chemical stuff for goodness sake...you and the horse will have no skin or mucous membranes left!!!

 

[merlinsquest]

Thats what I thought, but loads of people seem to recommend it....... worrying that isnt it!!!

I use Stalosan... It's very good and really gets rid of any odours
