Hey everybody
I noticed that y'all wre wondering how we mix our wood cleaner, Sorry I could'nt respond sooner I was in Las Vegas w/ the PWNA
convention (helping its economy)
we buy fresh 12.5 %sodium hypochlorite (bleac
in 15 gallon drums every two weeks
Then we pour all 15 gal into an empty 55 gallon drum, fill it w/ water then add
2-3 liquid Spic N Span bottles doesn't really matter how much spic n span you use all it is is soap, Yes you can use a scented one or add a lemony scent if you want. This make approx. a 4% bleach solution (And talk about cheaper that store-bought)
Spay entire deck off, and rinse light pressure 300-400 psi resist temptation don.t powerwash, after deck is rinsed you do need to neutralize with oxalic acid mixture 5% is a good concentration, there is nothing magical or hard about this, You may want to try it on a few experimental decks, It works well for us our decks are bright and clean after drying which always makes whatever sealer you using look that much better, Some don't agree w/ a chlorine bleach solution they say it's too harsh, but remember , don't make it too strong and don't allow it to sit on the deck forever you . We can talk more on Wed chat room. Happy deck cleaning Y'all.Chris Detter 2/7/2000
