Pet friendly chems for softwashing
« on: January 17, 2017, 02:23:21 pm »
Anyone know of the most effective pet friendly chem to clean industrial kingspan cladding on a vet hospital?
This is the method I would use but the first thing they will ask is the chem pet friendly surely?

Ideally want to treat, let dwell and rinse using  wfp method from the ground.  That will also kills any spores left on the surface so to help prolong regrowth unlike pressure washing.

Whilst they want pet friendly they won't strictly get the results in doing so. I'd use non caustic tfr with wax, rub up, rinse off and then DDAC . The other option is just lob the DDAC on out of hours and wait for the result

Thanks for  that. I could probably get away with blackwash followed by DDHC with good RAMS and docs to back it up I suppose. The only real problem is doing the front where the main entrance is. But I'm sure we could work that one out (be closed off) as they have a staff door that leads to reception on the side that clients with pets could use.   Just hope when doing the back they don't want to use the rear doors for horses etc  as the vet hospital runs 24/7 7 days a week lol

I'd swerve the black wash as you need to deal with fumes as well as run off. Why do you buy blackwash rather than neat SH

Good point. Regards to using the likes of blackwash I suppose it depends what job I'm doing if I feel the need to use a cert hse product or not. If I don't would use my own hypo mix and appropriate  %  for the type of surface that needed treating. 

I will have a butchers on bookfarce pages again to see if I can find out more details about a so say  pet friendly product that someone was promoting a while ago.

My wifes cat got poorly just before Christmas so had to stay in that vet hospital overnight.
Filled in the insurance paperwork to get it paid and she thought no more about it. Today my wife received a letter from the pet insurance company saying they were not going to pay the £693.20 bill.  ???

Now  looks like instead of me washing their dishes I will be washing their building instead   ;D

S/H  is used as a disfinfectant in cattle cages and kennels, I would guess as long as the animals  are not present during the initial cleaning then it would be OK , I would ask the vet what they use to clean & sanitise their kennels, I bet what they use is stronger than what you will use.

Could you wet vac up any residue?

Yes I could as I've had to in the passed when the chem pooled on rinsing down and would not soak away . Same as using a pressure washer with bad surface drainage.

Ben from Benz said to contact the chap in Ireland as he sells a new product called safe wash. I did via email 2 days ago but got no response yet.  I take that he don't want my business, thought I was just fishing and/or is too busy selling training courses to respond   ???

Seventh Generation disinfecting multi-surface cleaner is cheap, yet effective solution. It contains none of the following  highly toxic agents, that may poison your pet - phenol, isopropyl alcohol, formaldehyde, phthalates, bleach, perchloroethylene.
