Today I bought the eZall green Total Body Wash for my foamer. What expriences have you had with it. It says it can get the animal clean without scrubbing. Can it be done on really soiled calves?
We've had a couple of them. They work great for a while and just quit. The soap is expensive so we pulled orafice out and mix regular shampoo with Dawn dish soap and add a little water . That does save some soap over the old hose and squirt bottle trick.
I used it and nope u still have to really scrub..and it takes like 3 baths with that stuff to get the crap off the underside of cattle. It does work on animals that rolled in light mud say like a horse and gets manure stains out....I would recommend that stuff to my horse friends but not my cattle friends. I still use mane and tail shampoo and warm water works best...ohh and vinagar mixed in it too
EZ All makes great product. The price is prohinbitive for everyday use and if you have alot of calves to wash. No matter what dirt is there you have to scrub it out. Most of the time the dirt won't just fall out. ;D. We go to dollar general and buy shampoo for 98 cents. V05 works great and they have some others that are good. When you use a dishwashing soap it is designed to break down oil. If you have a calf that has dry hair dishwashing soap is not the best choice. YOu can buy human shampoo just as cheap.
I bought an EZ All foamer last year and really like it. Granted I don't wash as many animals as some do but it works great for me. I add Dawn to it and it works just fine, you do still have to scrub your animals though. Washed 3 cows that were caked with mud and crap this weekend and it seems to help soften up the crud and make it easier to scrub off.
The more concentrated you use the better it works and be patient when you apply it. It needs to sit for a few minutes before it works. Don't just rinse it out right away. We've used on pigs for clipping also. I was really impressed with it on our calves and after you are washing more frequently you can dillute it down to stretch it out longer. Hope this helps
