jnoden 15 Report post Posted February 1, 2006 Have read a lot about sodium hydroxide and I use it as my wood stain stripper and concrete cleaner but I could find little info on sodium metasilicate. What is the differences between the two? I want to learn more about adding metasilicate to my current house wash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RogerG 14 Report post Posted February 2, 2006 One thing that you have to know is that S/M is a heavy chem, it will dives down. On a deck there is no problem with this but on a house there is. When it dives down on a house wash then it's going to the ground and taking some of your chems with it. To stop it from diving to the ground you have to put a foamer in your mix to make it stay up on the wall like you need it to.Steve sells a good foamer at his online store.

jnoden 15 Report post Posted February 2, 2006 thanks, that info is helpful. I still do not know the difference between the two. How do they react differently to various materials. I even searched google and couldnt find differences. I know that they are similar but just curious about the differences if anybody out there knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
