Go big or go home right? That’s a ton of chems. Now I see why you needed the dual axle!
Barkeeper’s friend is like $3… I’d send you a bottle, but I feel like I’d have to send you 100 bottles for it to be a fair gift!

Nice explanation. I’ll keep it in mind.
So you pequed my interest with something you mentioned. Removing mud from siding. May create as a topic.
What’s the best way to remove mud? From siding but especially from garage doors. Living in hurricane Harvey aftermath. This will be my bread and butter the next three months.
As always thanks.

We’ve got 7 houses on the docket for the week. One of them is bound to have mud. I’ll make a video and a new thread to show you how easy it is and so I don’t hijack this thread anymore. Lol

I’ve got some, use on my stainless cookware all the time, never thought of using it on a house. Can’t ever think of many times I would have, but I like that little touch up you did. And never though about using on a dirt dauber stain.
BTW Squid, if you taking the time to clean items like mud dauber stains you are going to be very successful. I wish you are bountiful in your business. Keep up the good work.
Only around the front door, garage, and deck for us. Some houses here we’d spend half a day cleaning up nests if we got all of them. Then again I’m only 5’10 and my t-Rex arms require a step stool to get even the “easy” ones. Lol you shouldn’t have a problem.

My soap usually takes care of most of them and luckily don’t have many around here. We have plenty of wasp nest tho. I’m 5’11, but carry a big gun, lol

I thought you were 6’4" in my caveman brain for some reason.
the more the better imo, I have 100 gallons of mixed soap I start off with for a week and usually need to fill up once during the week, Mixing soap is something I try to do as little as possible. I a 55 gallon chem tank and then I use and 3/ 15 gallon drums also to down stream out of. Big time saver not having to mix soap up during job hrs. I only do residential so I do not need that much/// no roofs either
Do you use a specific degreaser?
@racer talked me into buying some more EBC so that’ll be what I carry once it gets here, but Zep heavy duty citrus degreaser has been my go to. I only really use it for restaurants a few times each month, but I like it.
Great! Thank you very much.
What kind of injector % are you using for that hot of a mix? Is that 32 gallons straight SH? Or 60/40 SH mix?
Straight SH. The injector is at 12% now. Was 15%. That’s about 3.2 gallons per house which is right on par with 3 gallons to 2 gallons water if you’re mixing in a bucket. We just skip that step.
At 12% for the injector that’s 1% SH that’s hitting the house.

Reason I asking is I have a 35 gallon tank. I was going to fill with 12.5 SH from a local dealer. So you just DS direct from that? I thought most DS injectors are set for 20%, so you get an oriface set for 12% set for you gpm pump?
Interesting. Where you getting that oriface setup? Most I see are set at 20% for a particular gpm output.
ahh. Thanks.
We dont have trailers, but a dual axle flat bed and a dual axle Isuzu NPR. In both of them I carry 700 gallons of water, 35 gallon tank for SH ( I use it to fill the X jet pail) and a 65 Gallon tank for carrying Distilled water ( I buy from local water supply store) for use in my Water fed pole backpack.
