Use a Surfactant it really helps with roofs and vertical surfaces - I get mine off eBay and add 1 mug to a 20 litre drum

Don’t use washing up liquid in hypo products it’s dangerous , it’s not compatible it will go like a thick gell in the bottom of the tank and finally it’s illegal although many on hear will disagree with what I have said I have posted the relevant information on hear numerous times all the information is on the HSE website about what can and cannot be added to hypo . This is the simplified version put in plain English if you want the technical terminology it’s on the HSE web site (http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/1619909105_0FC3ACB5-33B3-4029-A754-78381F19EA49.png)(http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/1619909105_04DABC6F-F3F9-4CC1-9203-33A87DAF4483.png)

fairy is not a good idea in my view clever wash is designed to mix with hypo i was under the impression mixing fairy with hypo can cause musterd gas

Thanks for clarifying I will carry on using the surfactant. ??? Not fairy

Wise choice 😂😂 on a serous note you only need 300 ml of surfactant per 20 ltr neat drum of hypo so at between £20-45 per 5 ltr of surfactant ( depending what you use ) it’s cheap as chips anyway .

How does that work when adding water though? Let’s say you’ve got a 100 litre barrel and have 20-30l of hypo and the test water, surely you’d need way more surfactant than 4-500ml...
As you know I’ve always Used fairy, and only need a small amount in my barrel to make it ‘stick’

It’s 300 ml of surfactant to a neat drum of hypo ,then you dilute the hypo down to 4-1 or what ever

I actually put less than that in my mixes with fairy. I’ll try clever wash and see what the difference there is.

Cleverwash is good stuff but is around £45 for 5 ltr the Lauryl one is £18 for 5 ltr I don’t find any difference between them to(http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/1620060074_2920D2CE-591A-4B80-BC36-90729E954B4B.jpeg) be honest

£45 seems silly expensive.
I’ve heard a few people use lauryl, might give that a go!

It sounds expensive at£45 but that will treat around 13 drums of neat hypo so it’s cheap as chips really , obviously the Lauryl one is cheaper again

Look at the MSDS and you will see the amount of active ingredient , which really you should do with every solution you buy just so you can see how much you are paying for H2O (which is often the biggest ingredient ;) )

I thought the biggest ingredient in most of these chemicals was BS
Darran
