Might need @CaCO3Girl to debunk this one for us.

I have tried to get it reverse engineered with no luck. Some say that they can do it but I have never seen it to be completely the same. I buy it 55 gallons at a time and wouldnāt wash a house that I used sh without it. I know some disagree with me but it works for me

Have you ever encountered any problems washing around stained decks? Iām guessing it has a good amount of sodium hydroxide in it but I could be wrong. Would love to see the sds

Yall get any snow from storm?
Not even a flurry I wish it would snow. I wouldnāt mind to sit in the plow truck turn the radio on and just push snow. For me it relaxing but we only do parking lots
Iād love to see an SDS. Iām guessing it has sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and sodium metasilicate in it. Otherwise known as the brown stuff that cleans HVAC coil cleaners. Sold under many different names but the two big manufacturers are Atlantic Chemical (ACE) and Nu-Calgon. Iāve heard of people using this stuff for house washing before. Itās super hot, and it doesnāt neutralize the SH really itās that it is soooo incompatible with SH that the surfactant weakens the SH.

Yeah i was not happyā¦ they all said we wud be 4ā at min. but likely 6āā¦ total bust and not a flake stuck to concrete/road.
There is a product called brown derby thatās pretty much the same if you can find. I will post the sds tomorrow. But you are right you cant mix the two without water as a buffer. I love it I have washed houses with out it and will never go back to that again. It melts the grime off the siding I never fight bees nest or crazy spider webs. If you mix the two together you hw will be trash in 4 hours. I like it for treating driveways because it will weaken the sh. Long and short if I dont use it sh will kill the grass and plants if I do I have never had a problem in 14 years and my mentor who gave me the recipe for my house wash was in the business for close to 30. Anyway I will post tomorrow itās the proprietary blend that no one can figure out. But I would love to know because itās not the cheapest chemical on the market

Thereās a guy around here who uses Brown Derby as a fleet wash chemical. He said he also uses it on the few house washes he does. He gave me a small sample to try out but since it didnāt come with any instructions or an SDS I never used it.
I use it for equipment also brown derby is really hot for fleet wash most people around me use this stuff called green monster which is the watered down version or so Iām told. I will take some pictures of the label it tells you how to fleet wash with it. Iām still trying to learn the fleet wash side of the business
I sent you a message
Thatās probably close. Itās that trade secret thing that I cant figure out
I just gave up and buy it in 55 gallon drums
Itās the cost of doing business
