Deck Stipping I must have misunderstood the original question. Percarbonate is not a stripper, but it will remove a lot of stain that is already degraded. However it is an excellent cleaner and much safer than SH or bleach. Be careful with SH, if you make a mistake in mixing or splashing...

Eco Friendly products I have researched and tried just about everything. The most eco friendly cleaner available is oxygen bleach. This is my opinion, but it is very strong and based on over a year of continuing research, conversations with chemist and microbiologists, and field trials...

Oxygen Bleach Do not mix chlorine bleach with oxygen bleach. You would be defeating the purpose of using either one of them. Try using oxygen bleach alone. You cannot downstream inject it, because you can mix enough powder in a gallon of water to get on the surface at the required dilution...

I reccomend using sodium percarbonate cleaners. They are much safer to use and are much more eco friendly. I was in the cleaning business eight years before I discovered these cleaners. They are great cleaners, especially on wood. Many pros do use sodium hydroxide cleaners or strong bleach...

I don't know why, but blue or blue/grey older vinly is the only vinyl I have seen with oxidation. I usually educate the customer about the problem and inform them that I will not "pressure wash" so as not to cause all thsoe lines and marks you are referring too. Sometimes it will also leave a...

It will help you! and confuse you at times! I lived in Slidell for four years until Katrina. I moved here, Church Point, and started my business here. So I know a little about the market you are working in. At that time I made most of my income fleet washing in N.O., so I lost most of my...

Bleach I have been doing research and expermintating on the "bleach" question for many months. After eight years of being a heavy bleach user, I am now about 90% bleach free. I have switched very successfully to oxygen bleach cleaners. They are great cleaners and very enfironmentally...

Surface cleaner on decks I have tried it twice, with mixed results. If you have experience with surface cleaners on concrete, you know about overlap, the correct speed, chem. use, etc. Wood is not much different. Maybe it requires a little more TLC to prevent damage. It will make the job...

My opinion is to go with high flow, at least 5gpm. This will save you a lot of time and make you much more efficient which means you make more profit! 3000 psi is all you need, I think. It is acually more than you will need most of the time. It is better to have more than you need than to...

Posting I am new to this. How do you post? Is a post the same as a reply?

Chris Find any type of concrete cleaner with HCl in it; not muriatic acid though. These types of cleaners are usually sold for removing concrete or mortar from equipment or trukcs. They contain a blend of detergents and acid. I am in the Lafayette, Louisiana and buy it locally, but one...

I have resisted cleaning roofs for safety and liability concerns. I also am not sure how to get to the ones with steep pitches that are very high. What is a pitch witch? How do I go about reaching these hard to get to roof stains? I am also looking for the right chemical. I have read...

I recently dropped an account of dump trucks. I hopefully will never have another dump truck account. Dirtiest job I've had. My price for tri-axles was only $20. That may seem low, but we did them weekly, and they mostly hauled sand, very little mud. We could wash one in 15-20 minutes...
