Remember all things slow down in cold weather ....so what works today will be 50% quicker /more potent in spring/summer. Any mix ratio's /times you might of read upon on this forum will be from when the lads are busy in summer(roughly speaking) take this into account now the temps are lower.

[mike1986]

OK thanks ill bear that in mind...i think i will try a few test areas with different dwell times etc...as i know that the customer will be out all day.

Bury, Gt. Manchester. Been paying £10 for years. You can get an IBC delivered if you use a pallet firm with a Moffit on the back off the wagon. IBC's work out about £6 per 25 litres.

Great thanks for the replies...tried it out on a decking today for the first time and I must be doing something wrong as it made no difference at all really.Applied it with a watering can and brushed in with stiff brush tried different ratios 3:1 then 2:1 then 1:1 left to dwell for 20mins, 30 mins then 40mins etc etc... but made very little difference at all even used it neat in one part with the same results.

Any idea why? Temperature was 8-9 degrees today so wasn't very cold or anything.

Mike, without seeing any pictures ! Have you cleaned the deck before applying , Ed

Yes, you must be doing something wrong. Are you sure the Hypo isn't out of date or just no good?

As for your initial post, just find a local chemical supplier, can't beat it.

[Jettaway]

I bought some for £20ish just before last xmas. I must still have 1/2 a container left.  Its still good for general cleaning/disinfecting.
I'm in need of another container because it would be real weak now.

[mike1986]

Yes i cleaned the decking, then applied the hypo, then cleaned again. I clean it every year by just pressure washing it but never get good results. I think maybe it is crap quality stuff as my brother uses hypo and says that it gives off really nasty fumes and that you cant breath near it...however this stuff wasn't like that at all, it just smelt like chlorine.

[Aqua Power Solutions]

Mike, post some pics . A decent pressure washer alone will revitalize a deck. I personally have never put hypo on a deck only on hard surfaces .Hypo is a fantastic cleaning aid and maybe someone like Roger Oakley may be able to advise ! Ed

[Roger Oakley]

If you can post some before and after photos? that would help, or even just after photos, and a bit of info on the deck, as it ever been sealed/stained/oiled before? if yes any idea what products were used?
