OK Germaphobes, Gather ‘Round…! I’ve found something to REALY CLEAN your stalls, tack… (keyboards, portapotties and kitchens)!: SYNBIONT AG WASH

I don’t know about you, but I am one of those people that pulls down my sleeve when grabbing the door handle at the Post Office. Eech.

I don’t want whatever the last guy had…

I can’t afford to be sick.

Do you know the most common item found on office keyboards? You don’t want to know. I know and it freaked me out.

Anyway, when I was at the Western States Horse Expo, I found this product: SynBioNT.

You can spray it on all surfaces ANYTHING and it is S-A-F-E! Toilets, doorhandles, strollers, tables, picnic areas, portapotties, cutting boards, camping gear, etc…

And, of course, you can use it to clean out any surface your horse might touch or breath – show stalls, tack, blankets, trailers, buckets, bowls… ANYTHING!

This is my little spray bottle that I use on the kitchen cutting boards and counters. Perfect for your purse!

SYNBIONT AG WASH (no affiliation)

Normally, I would write about this type of product during show season because that is the most obvious use – to clean the venue stall before you put your horse into it.

But…

This wash is for a bunch of other uses.

I spent some time in the booth and watched the guy spray it on his finger and put it in his mouth. He says it is totally safe and can be washed down drains and into sewers. Non corrosive.

Here is what it kills:

EHV-1

E COLI

SALMONELLA

H1N1

BACTERIA

FUNGUSES

VIRUSES

STAPH

HOT SPOTS

RING WORM

CINCH FUNGUS

USE ON…

…STALLS, TRAILERS, PENS, TACK, BLANKETS, BITS, BRUSHES, CINCHES, WHEELBARROWS, KENNELS, FOOD BOWLS, WATER BUCKETS, MOTORHOMES, BATHROOMS, TOILET SEATS…

AND KITCHEN COUNTERS!

Yup, it is food safe!

WHAT IS IT?

The website isn’t robust… It seems more for the industrial market…

However, I found they flyer that I had from the show was more informative and hit the nail on the head.

It says (abbreviated):

SYNBIONT AG WASH is used to clean areas that are prone to host pathogens, viruses, bacteria and fungus such as stalls, bridles, bits, water buckets, feeders and places where animals frequent. It is a food-grade, fully biodegradable product.unlike a disinfectant, SynBioNt Ag Wash cleans an area in two ways. First, it cleans the host area where the pathogens grow by emulsifying dirt and soil. Second, it compromises the cell walls of the pathogen, virus, bacteria or fungi. This syngenetic reaction occurs due to the way the surfactants in SynBioNt Ag Wash have been mixed together.

Contact makes clean!

Wow! So easy to get a real CLEAN! (This is a page from the brochure I had from the Horse Expo!)

My brochure was a bit wrinkled… but this is good stuff!

FROM SEED TO STORE…

SynBioNT Ag Wash started in Florida, the first state to ensure that produce could be traced all the way from seed to store.

They needed to keep everything clean and disinfected.

So, SynBioNT was formed.

For me, I keep it in my purse and use it on all those nasty surfaces that come my way – keyboards, handles, countertops… you name it.

And, I use it in the shower stall, the feed room and to wash out my feed bowls and water buckets.

Since it is concentrated, it is CHEAP!

One gallon of SynBioNt Ag Wash makes 50 gallons!! $49.00.

Maybe if you call them they might have smaller sizes… don’t know.

I DID IT! I ASSEMBLED THE BOZ SADDLE KIT: EASY PEASY! IF I CAN DO IT, YOU CAN DO IT!

Last week, I told you that I was finally going to assemble my Boz Saddle Kit. (No affiliation!)

Here is that link that tells about the Boz saddle...

As you know, I love my Boz saddle. The attributes are perfect for the way I like to ride… I feel totally secure. I always seem to default to my Boz – no matter how many saddles I try. Mine is 14 years old and looks brand new.

But, I wanted a new Boz to use on Bodhi or Rojo as their own saddle.

I couldn’t afford a regular Boz saddle … but I could afford the Saddle Kit!

(You assemble it yourself.)

Well, I did it!

I think it took around 90 minutes.

Yes, I had a Makita.

But, other than that, I was left with just me and no help – at all.

And I did it. EASILY.

I swear, Boz does all the heavy lifting! Every screw was marked… every assembly issue was dealt with either on the DVD or on the written material.

To be honest, I am totally proud of myself. This saddle has extra special meaning to me.

I didn’t struggle. It was fun and easy!

(If you want your own kit, go here!)

HERE WE GO – A PHOTO DIARY!

Basically, most of the work is already done when you receive your kit.

The tree has all of the major attachments.

All you are really doing is putting on the finishing touches…

It comes with a DVD and a written summary. I mostly used the DVD.

But, knowing I was going to follow the DVD, I ended up assembling it in my office…

This is what arrives… and basically, Boz has already done all the work for you… You just have to do the finishing… Really a great deal when you consider that it only took me 90 minutes to finish this saddle! A huge savings!
