I think you know why I'm posting these. SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

The s.h. I was referring to is sodium hypochlorite not hydroxide. And yes it works very well mixed. I found that you don't need nearly as much e-plus as e-spec recommends (surprise) especially on painted aluminum that isn't a paint prep. If I used store bought bleach I would up the ratio by 40-50% as I use 10.5. Sorry for the confusion.Dan - I get it now. I thought you said to mix E Plus with Sodium Hydroxide. Usually when people say "SH" they mean sodium hydroxide. Whew.

Dan, I think you misread my ? What I asked was - Did you ever use E Plus mixed with bleach on alum siding? If so, did it get the mold off and clean well?
-
Dan, have you ever used E Plus mixed with bleach on alum siding? If so, how did it work for you?
-
E Plus worked great for me many times. If anything, don't use SH!
-
Thanks Mike & Beth. I used E-Plus without bleach. I washed it with a chem tip. I love washing with chem tips, I feel like I'm in more control. I stripped a deck 2 weeks ago with a chem tip and it worked great.

Thanks Ken. That was a regular customer. I love repeats!

Thanks Celeste! Actually, I did not know that there was so much crap up there until I actually got up there in the lift. I just said to myself, "Oh well, I'll just duck!" My wife was REALLY glad to see me come home that day!

The awning was LOADED with bird crap. The birds hung out on a ledge just above the awning. The ledge was 60 ft. long and 2 ft. wide and covered in 3 inches of solid bird crap.
The sidewalk pic just doesn't do the situation justice. Now, that's a lot of bird crap!!!

We did this deck a couple weeks ago. We are having a great season!

Just curious if anyone is using something other than plastic and duct tape to mask a house from sealer over spray. It has been a pita for me mostly becuase the tape does not want to stick well and if there is any wind then forget about it.Just tarp the railings with a 9X12 canvas tarp. I never tarp the house. If you are spraying the floor, you need to switch to hand brushing. Call me if you need to. I can explain better over the phone.

Daryl - Call me. I've been downstreaming for years, and I can tell you where you can get great chems.

We bought one this week. We were able to cover 500 sq. ft. with two coats in just over two hours. I should have bought one years ago.2 Hours? Is this just the floor and stairs or the whole deck including the spindles?
-
I didn't know that you can use bleach on colored awnings without ruining the colour.

Next week, I have to strip, brighten & stain half of a deck. The other half of the deck wasn't THAT bad. Come on! People like that are cheeeeeeep!
This is where you tell people that you have a minimum job price, and you will do the whole thing for that price.
-
No biggie Doug. I don't tarp the house. I only spray the spindles, I do the floor by hand.
-
Nice pics Jeff! Thanx for sharing.

Okay I've got some decks to wash and stain, when i look at charging what i think is ok ($1.35per sqft at 240 sqft= 324) that seems high for a deck with no railing or steps. I'm thinking $1 per sq on this on thats 240 and after all is said i make 182 not bad. Ur .02 please.That is a terrible price. You have to have a minimum job of $450.00. Otherwise it wasn't worth the 2 trips and all the work & supplies.

DTHOMPSON - Brushing is the best way to remove oxidation. Home Depot stuff is for do it yourself home owners - not contractors. Contractors should use contractor grade products. There are plenty of vendors on this board that can help you.
There are some products that will remove most or all of the oxidation without brushing. I just don't think you will find them at Home Depot.
