You need to dial back your pressure. You completely stripped that guy of his arms and lower body!

First fence? Btw DSing oxalic will not make a difference whatsoever. It has to be 8 ounces (one cup) per gallon direct application.

burned my eyes enough to know that it was working. color changed too⌠so idk about that.
i really need to get some PPE lol
Ox doesnât burn the eyesâŚyou kept it away from SH and any other cleaners right? Trust when I say DSing at that ratio isnât nearly enough or ask others if you donât trust my opinion.
If ox could be downstreamed, weâd all be doing it.
I know the 4/4 can pull a strong mix, but it still isnât strong enough for downstreaming ox.
Even if you tried to mix something like 40oz to one gallon of water, the ox reaches a point where it wonât dissolve in the water.
Itâs like the person who puts tons of sugar in their iced tea. Where does it end up? Undissolved at the bottom of the cup.

how did you applied the mix?
@Racer, great work starting this thread. Very much enjoyed it and have learned a ton of valuable information. Just wondering if its possible to mix Sodium Percarbonate and Sodium Hydroxide together when doing a deck cleaning? If so, at what rate would i mix if I wanted to lift stain our of my PT Spruce deck? I personally think it would be ok as both are base compounds, however just want to make sure iâm on the right track.
I mean, you could but why would you want to?
I thought maybe it would help lift out the stain better?
Just clean it with whatever your heart desires and then strip it with the hydroxide. No need to rush things by trying to mix up a magical concoction.
Sodium Percarbonate is more for organics. It just a lot more mild than bleach but also doesnât clean as well. It can be a good choice to use on certain decks because the wood wonât fuzz as much when compared to sh. It wonât do anything as far as helping lift the stain, though. Iâd just use sodium or potassium hydroxide and some surfactant. I know it has been mentioned a few times but watch that painted metal.

I cleaned this with sodium metasilicate/ hydroxide Everett sells. Is that green between the Xâs pressure treatment or alage I didnât remove? I enede up brushing most of the deck becuaenafter coming through with 1000psi some green was left behind. I would go across board again slower and it would remove more. Ultimately brushing right before the rinse helped.
To get rid of outdoor Matt shadow, only thing you can do is sand?
Wood was atleast 6 years old never been cleaned.
