Fall 2019 / 101Your Clean-Up Kit
Be prepared to handle a potential
infectious-disease outbreak with the
following supplies.
; Buckets. Keep several clean
buckets on hand for scrubbing and
soaking, and/or mixing disinfectant.
; Flat feed tub..QVLIÆI\Z]JJMZ
or plastic feed tub that’s large enough
to step into for a footbath.
; Synthetic turf. Cut a small roll of
[aV\PM\QK]ZN\WÅ\\PMJW\WUWN\PM
feed tub when setting up a footbath.
; Disposable gloves. Pick up a box
of disposable latex or vinyl gloves to
use when handling sick horses.
; Handheld scrub brush. Find a
scrub brush with hard bristles to use
to pre-clean surfaces when you start
your disinfecting protocol.
; Long-handled scrub brush. A
long-handled scrub brush is helpful
for hard-to-reach areas, as well as for
removing organic debris that may be
caked on your boots before stepping
in a footbath.
; Laundry detergent. Laundry
detergent, such as Tide, is ideal for
scrubbing down and cleaning walls or
equipment prior to disinfecting.
; Brightly colored duct tape. Use
tape to mark off “no entry” isola-
tion areas.
; Disinfectants. You’ll need several

concentrate, isopropyl (rubbing)
alcohol, household bleach, and hydro-
gen peroxide.
; Measuring cups/spoons. Round
up a full set of measuring utensils so
you can properly mix disinfectants.
; Spray bottles. You’ll use a spray
bottle to spray disinfectant on walls
or other surfaces. Stash several in
your clean-up kit.
; Ivory soap. Ivory soap (or an
equivalent) is a good choice for hand-
washing, because it doesn’t have any
coloring, scent, or other additives.
; Clean towels. Use clean towels to
dry your hands after washing them.
; Hand sanitizer. Pick up a few
bottles of 60% alcohol hand sanitizer
to sanitize your hands if a washing
station isn’t available. →
