what do you use to disinfect or prevent amonia smell on rubber ma

[cellie]

I have converted to rubber matting and use shavings or hemcore .Is there a product that I can buy to sprinkle on matting to prevent build up of amonia smell.I take wet patches out every day and her shavings are really fresh and clean.I used to use sterilising fluid on concrete floors to wash out with but figured that it might harm mats.
Can anyone recommend product safe for

mats

bog standard antibacterial spray (dettox type) from the supermarket kills the smell and presumably the bacteria too without any damage.

We use stable zone powder - very good for freshening and anti bacterial

I just chuck buckets of water over the matting and brush it away. Seems to work in my stable/shelter. If its really bad then I add peppermint essential oil to a bucket of water.

We use Equi-san-dry. Great stuff.

I bought two 2ltr cartons of Green Gloop about 3 years ago, and am still on the first one. It is VERY concentrated. I've only one horse on mats and I sprinkle a small amount of the concentrated Green Gloop over the mats (about 2 capfuls), throw cold water over them and brush the mats with the broom. The smell is wonderful and genuinely neutralises any nasty stable smells. Even when my mare is at her smelliest. I do this about once or twice a week, depending upon the weather, in winter. In summer I do it less, since the horses are out most of the summer.

I'd recommend just buying the one 2ltr bottle. It'll last ages and genuinely works.

Freshbin Powder by Jeyes, it comes is a tin that you shake the powder out of. It's designed for freshening up dustbins but does a treat on a stable floor. It's ideal in the winter or bad drying weather as it freshens up the floor without soaking it.

Iuse the equi-dry powder on my mats - it lasts for ages and works really well! can't find their website but have googled and this place sells it!

I personally can't stand the smell of the pine one (smells like public toilets imo!!) But I don't like pine smelling stuff in the house either! Much prefer the original one which has a sort of sherberty smell!

i use jeyes and stable zone, but accept the fact that as she is on straw it will stink a bit. when she was on shavings it was much nicer. but such is life.
