Oxidized mess

LOL, proof-reading, you had one job!!

Our only experience last year worked perfectly, but IDK how oxidized that house was…

I used it on a stucco home last year and I quickly quit using it because I thought it messed up the paint on part of the house. I believe the paint was oxidized in certain areas, but not all of the same wall (there was a large fountain that cast a shadow over the middle of the wall and I think that the sun beat around it, causing oxidation on either side but not the middle). Either way, I was nervous about ever using it for general cleaning again. I would like to try it on certain jobs where SH does not solve the problem entirely. Have you ever had the product mess up a finish on any kind of home or building siding that was not oxidized? Also regarding your comment of comparing it to purple power. I know purple power is an alkaline, degreaser and this product is an alkaline cleaner. Purple powers sds sheet shows ether as the active ingredient, is that similar to sodium hydroxide? I wonder if adding purple power to the hw mix would be a much cheaper substitute for terra wash. I’ve been adding Powersolve on soap 2 for non-organic contaminates and it works pretty good. Used 5 gallons of it last week to clean four 20’ walls on a 24,000 square-foot warehouse and no sh (sh wasn’t allowed due to the wine). It worked great.

You’re looking at the wrong purple power. I’ve never used the stuff you’re talking about

What stain are you currently using?

TWP
25+ years of using it.

Interesting. I’ve seen it mentioned on some of the staining pages but never used it myself. Have you ever done any side-by-side comparison with other brands? Be interesting to do a few fence pickets and leave them out for a year and see how they all hold up.
