Manure Spot Remover - a homemade recipe!
Ok, here is my very own "cheap and cheerful" version of an expensive product on the market that removes manure stains...
1 bottle of rubbing alcohol
1 bottle of water
1/8 cup of GREEN Palmolive Dish Soap
(HAS to be the GREEN one!!!!)
Mix in a spray container
Spray on the manure stain spot then wipe with a damp well wrung out sponge. Rinse sponge clean and wipe again.
The stain should come right out. If it is REALLY bad you might need to apply the remover once more.
I made up this recipe after
guessing what was in an expensive store product and we used this on two pure white geldings for years before their shows - it worked like magic!
You must rinse your sponges nice and clean as you go though, a dirty sponge on a white spot will leave a yellow tinge!!

what is palmolive dish soap - do you mean washing up liquid? Trying to find a UK equivalent so I can make a batch of this for my mothers grey mare :-)

Yes, washing up liquid for you Brits! I would hope that any green washing up liquid would do it - give it a go! Try a good brand.

Green Fairy Liquid is pretty much the same. It's made by the same company

This really works! I have used it for years on my mostly white Gypsy Vanners. Another tip: instead of trying to thoroughly rinse a sponge, have a heap of clean, terry cloth rags(old towels) handy. Wet them, wring out and fold into sponge-size squares. I scrub the spot and keep turning and refolding towel until all sides are soiled then I get a clean one.
