I have been using EQ solutions since it started, before the EZ-all and because our local Orschelons sells it.  Ran out at the last show we were at and bought a gallon of EZ-all body wash.  Needless to say I was sorely disappointed, not only did it not get them clean, they still had flakes in spots!!!!  Has anyone else experienced that with this stuff?  I can't believe Stierwalt would get behind this stuff

I've used EZ-all a few times and liked it pretty well, but I've never used or heard of EQ solutions so it's hard for me to compare the two.

I have used EZ-All and have no complaints.  One thing to remember when using EZ-all is to not rinse them first.  Use the applicator with water and ez-all soap first ..... then I scrub .... then I rinse.

This is one of the biggest problems that I have seen with people using the EZ All.  They rinse the animal first then apply the product.  That's not the way that it is intended to be used.  It works quite well for me when it is used properly.  We use the same procedure as Cattledog...use the applicator with the EZ All soap, then scrub, then rinse.

I have to agree with in the barn. I also started out using the EQ product and had to switch to easy all. All I can say is that if you get the chance to buy EQ , you won't buy easy all again. To be honest, I haven't been able to find a distributor for EQ. I've went back to the dish soap.

I agree also, started out using the EQ product and loved it.  Don't like the ez all.  Have gone back to dish soap also.  And I do know not to wet the animal first.

When I first used Ezall it worked great. But as of late it seems not to be getting the job done. Have they changed or watered down the formula?

This may not be your problem but also remember that in the hot summer months adhesive tends to stick the skin of the animals.  I have actually broke animals down two days in a row to get them completely free of adhesive.  This could be what is causing the flakes.

I have been using it for daily washing and it is just not getting out every day dirt and crap. After drying I can feel where the crap had been on the hair.

I am thinking of trying some different soaps before I switch.

I like EZ All fine, but in reality we use Ivory soap most of the time.  My small boys are strong enough to get the EZ all applicator sprayer off and on.  And I make them do their own washing.  There isn't a huge benefit to EZall for us unless we are washing big groups of sale cattle at the same time and you can't scrub them by hand easily.

I use it exactly like the bottle says, suds, rinse and suds again and leave it on.  Works great for the EQ solutions, not the EZ-all.  Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the adhesive remover from EZ-all but the body wash doesn't cut the mustard!

Well, I never leave the ez-all soap in.  Now I kind of want to try EQ solutions!  I've never used it before so I don't know first hand what is better.  I will say this, if I don't use EZ-All I use Human shampoo.  I feel that it doesn't strip out the good oils in the hair.

I have never used the EQ, but like everyone else we have used the EZ-All and have gone back to using dish soap.  We use the foamer with Joy in it, I haven't had a performance issue with EZ-All, I just can't justify the extra expense.

We use the EZ-All before clipping and then just regular dish soap in the foamer at all other times.  When we are out of the EZ-All soap,  I don't know that I'll it again.  I have wondered if they've changed the formula because I think it used to work better than it does now.    However, the EZ-All adhesive remover is the best.

We started out using EQ Solutions as well when they came to county fair. Wow! I loved it. When we ran out, I had to buy some EZ-ALL. It just didn't add up to what EQ could do.
