sodium hypochlorite
« on: March 22, 2011, 09:46:15 pm »
 hi
 sorry i misspelt its hypochlorite. many use it for pressure washing.  i am also a highly experienced cleaning contractor with 25 years in all aspects of contract cleaning. i have a lot of experience with dangerous chemicals and have a number of certificates in handling such, as well as COSH training. i have health and safety consultants on retainer.

I have COSH data sheets in place and risk assessments and method statements for all work we carry out. This why i am enquiring from people who use it what there practices are for this particular chemical in this particular application.

iam sorry but i dont agree with you, i think pressure washing is a natural bolt on to other external cleaning like window cleaning or upvc cleaning. yes it has some dangerous elements but approached correctly it is no different to any other specialist cleaning service. with the odd exception nearly all the contractors i have spoken to do pw as an add on to window cleaning or similar.

i had three people on the job because i was there to help set up and monitor and the lad who will do most of the work and we had one of the youngters with us to help with loading and moving garden furniture.

the price was wrong thats all so was after some positive input about pricing.

 You can use it by meassure.You need 2-3 gallons of 12% sodium hypochlorite.pour the sodium hypochlorite into a 5 gallon bucket. With this, I personally like to add 4-5 cups of the borax. You also need to add about 4-5 ounces of dish soap as well. Stir this mix really well.

DO NOT MIX SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE with any other chemical unless you are mad or know exactly what you are doing
