Mike: I routinely pull the mats and wash
off the floor boards if the horses had urinated. If not, I don’t. So I
probably do wash the floor boards about once every month or so. Once a year,
just before winter, I apply a coat of polyethylene to the floor boards in hopes
it will help water proof them. Haven’t yet actually pulled the boards up
to inspect the metal. Probably a good idea, though.

Needed
I have a 2002 Silver Star trailer and have noticed that the
floor (beneath the heavy rubber mats) has some discoloration due to urine that
has seeped beneath the mats and been held against the metal. Is there
anything I can use to clean this or to prevent further damage?
There are exposed bolt heads at the floor, by the
mats. They are nicely rusted due to salt/urine. Any fixes for this?
Does everyone actually pull the mats and rinse out the
trailer after each use? (Answer honestly!!) My owner's manual says
to pull mats and clean the trailer every 60 days.
There is no place nearby that offers an acid wash... is
there anything that is almost as good that can be done at home?
