Sirocco Stall FreshStall Deodorizer

I've never used a stall deodorizer before — is this something I actually need?

If you're cleaning stalls regularly and things still smell sharp by day two or three, you're dealing with ammonia buildup — and that's exactly what this addresses. It's not a replacement for good stall management, but it makes good stall management go a lot further. Most first-time users notice a difference within the first week. \

How much product do I use per stall?

A standard 12x12 stall doesn't require a heavy application — you're covering the floor, not burying it. A light, even layer across the full floor is enough, with a bit extra in the wet spots. The product guide on the packaging gives you a more precise rate, and when in doubt, lean toward the wet areas. \

Will using Sirocco Stall Fresh help with my horse's respiratory health?

It can make a real difference. Ammonia is a significant irritant to equine airways, especially in horses with heaves or any kind of airway sensitivity. Keeping ammonia levels low in the stall environment is one of the easier wins for respiratory health — better air is just better. \

How does this compare to lime for ammonia control?

Barn lime is a traditional approach that works, but it needs to be used carefully around horses because of its caustic nature and dust. Sirocco Stall Fresh is formulated specifically for active stalls — it's designed to be safe when horses return after cleanout without the same handling precautions. For most everyday barn routines, it's the easier and more horse-friendly choice. \

Can I order a pallet for a larger operation?

Yes. If you're running a boarding barn or go through product quickly, reach out through chat or phone and we'll talk through bulk pricing and shipping options. The 25 kg bags are the most economical for high-volume use. \

Does it work in winter when stalls tend to stay wetter and the barn is closed up?

Winter is actually when most barn managers notice ammonia the most — closed doors, less ventilation, horses spending more time inside. Sirocco Stall Fresh is consistent year-round, and the moisture absorption is especially helpful in colder months when bedding tends to stay damp longer. \

Does the product have a shelf life or does it expire?

Mineral-based products like this are stable for a long time when kept dry. Store it in a sealed container or bag, away from moisture, and it will be ready when you need it. If product gets wet in storage it can clump, which affects how evenly it spreads but not its effectiveness. \

Can I use this on top of stall mats?

Yes — apply it directly to rubber or polyethylene stall mats before adding bedding. This is actually one of the most effective applications because mats trap moisture right at the floor level, which is exactly where the product works best. \

Will it affect the compostability of my used bedding?

The natural mineral base is generally compatible with composting, but we'd recommend checking with your composting operation if you're managing a larger volume. For most small barn setups composting shavings or straw, it's not an issue. \

I use pelleted bedding — does Sirocco Stall Fresh work the same way?

Yes. Pelleted bedding expands and absorbs from the bottom up, so applying Sirocco Stall Fresh to the floor first and letting the pellets expand on top works well. The product works with whatever is sitting above it — the bedding type doesn't change how it performs. \
