A little help please !
« on: November 17, 2014, 07:59:52 pm »
Just turned up at a job today and been approached by big wig. There on site maintenance guy has put some kind of biodegradable weed killer down. It seems that he has just poured it on neat in some parts and the block paving has turned white in parts and has basically made a pigs ear of it. Am prob not the person to ask but I always try to help out where I can.
I have just asked the guy himself but he's an old guy set in his ways and keeps saying it will come up with water. The customer has tried having the cleaners deck scrub it an nothing has improved.
With myself being the window cleaner I am not in a position to recommend anything but if any of you guys have experienced anything like this and have solved the problem I would appreciate your help.

Thanks
Matt

What is the weed killer?
It will be "a salt" of something (Round up is isopropylamine salt of glyphosate).
Water should remove it ...failing that try Efflorescence remover/salt neutraliser.
Do a test first before you commit yourself ...if it it successful name your price!
