Shoof Disinfection Mini Mat for Boots & Shoes
Description
Shoof Disinfection Mini Mat — Simple Boot Disinfection at Every Entrance
The Shoof Disinfection Mini Mat is a compact boot and shoe disinfection mat that sits at the entrance to your yard, stable, barn or building. Anyone stepping onto it disinfects the soles of their footwear before entering, which makes it best for horse owners, livestock farmers, smallholders and businesses who want a straightforward biosecurity routine for staff and visitors.
Unlike an open dip tray, the Mini Mat holds the solution without splashing or leaking, so coverage is complete, the floor stays dry and less disinfectant is wasted.
Key Features
- No splashing and complete coverage of the boot or shoe sole
- No leakage, so it is tidier and more environmentally friendly in use
- Mobile — move it between gateways, isolation boxes, feed rooms and sheds
- Long lasting and easy to clean, empty, rinse and refill
- Helps reduce the risk from avian flu, strangles and other transmissible diseases
- Ideal for homes, farms, barns, stables and factories

How to Use
- Position the mat on firm, level ground at the entrance point people use most.
- Choose a disinfectant suitable for your intended purpose and mix it at the rate stated by its manufacturer.
- Fill the mat with the prepared solution.
- Ask everyone to scrape or brush heavy mud from their boots before stepping on, as organic matter reduces disinfectant effectiveness.
- Step on the mat with both feet and pause for the contact time stated on the disinfectant label.
- Empty, rinse and refill regularly, more often in wet weather or where traffic is heavy.
FAQ
What is the Shoof Disinfection Mini Mat used for?
It is used to disinfect boots and shoes before people enter a yard, stable, barn, poultry house, factory or home, helping to limit the spread of transmissible disease between premises.
Does the mat come with disinfectant?
No. You fill it with a disinfectant of your choice and follow that product's own dilution rates and contact times.
Will it splash or leak on my floor?
It is designed for no splashing and no leakage, so the solution stays in the mat, the sole still gets complete coverage and less product is wasted.
Can I move the mat around the yard?
Yes. It is mobile, so it can be repositioned at different gateways, isolation boxes or sheds as your routine changes.
How often should the solution be changed?
Change it regularly, and more frequently in wet weather or where many people are using it, because dilution by rain and soiling by mud both reduce effectiveness.
Is it useful for horse yards specifically?
Yes. It supports yard biosecurity where strangles and other transmissible diseases are a concern, particularly when horses return from shows or sales and when vets, farriers and visitors come on site.
