Cleaning your kennels?

just curious what you all are using as disinfectant to clean your kennels? I few months ago I went from a chain setup to a kennel run. I'm big on husbandry and just want to eliminate some of the odours coming from the kennel.
I used patio stones for my flooring and pea gravel under and around the edges of the kennel.

Thanks in advance

 

I use bleach in kennels....around chain spots I usually throw some cedar or pine shavings to keep it smelling nice

 

I've been rinsing the kennel out with h2o and using bleach every other week. I personally hate the smell of bleach. Especially using it to clean such a big area. I dilute it but the smell still bothers me.

 

Bleach and fabulosa

 

I love the smell of Fabulosa...I used it daily at the gym I worked at

 

Lol believe it or not I was going to suggest fabuluso and its not expensive..Pine sol prob wouldn't be bad although I never tried it, the lemon would prob be good.

Very cheap in the long run and very easy to use.

I use the powder lime. Sprinkle it over the chain spot. Wet it down good. Once it's dry put dog back on the spot.

 

Does anybody have any tips on how to control flies? They been my major problem this yr..they bite my dogs ears up pretty bad and nothing I do can keep them away..Ivery got spray from tractor supply but u have to use it daily..any tips?

 

You can use almost any type of disinfectant to disinfect kennels including something as simple as fricken soap LOL
Hospitals and Veterinarians use Chlorohexidine.

 

IMO the fly bottle traps are the best way in controlling the fly populations as one bottle can catch hundreds or even thousands of flys depending on the size of your bottles, so the more bottle traps you put out the more you can catch and control......chemicals mostly deter flies but do almost nothing to control there populations.

 

We use chlorohexidine for a surgical scrub prep. Quat256 for disinfecting surface areas. Doubt they sell it commercially, not sure but it sure smells good lol.

I've worked for 5 hospitals over the years and none have used Cxd for disinfection of surfaces. More so used to prepping a surgical site. About all its used for other than our hand wash soap.

I just put bleach and hot water in a pump sprayer and go to town on everything in the kennel including the kennel itself. I don't feel I should have to say this but you never know these days, take the dog out first and let it dry before returning them. Lol.

 

They are bad here too this year.

 

Chlorohexidine is sold commercially world wide for many uses including topical wound/skin treatments including oral rinses as well as disinfectant for surfaces....The smell depends on the brand as some brands use scents and some dont as not all of them smell the same or are the same color as some are clear, red, blue and green with blue being the most common. There are also different concentrations of it also.

 

I meant the quat256 not the Chlorihexidine. That shit stinks. Lol.
The stuff hospitals use I should say. I've never smelled the commercial version
