I am going tomorrow to clean the playground at my wife’s Kindergarten school. Plastic slide, swings and other playground stuff, Going to DS SH but what mix would be best? Regular HW or should I make it stronger? Bill ---

Is downstreaming your only option, or do you have a roof spraying rig also? Sent from my iPhone using Pressure Washing Resource ---

You’ll want a 1% total solution plus your surfactant to sanitize with. We use our roof rig because it’s quieter and faster. Spray all metal hardware with plenty of wd-40 when you’re done. You could downstream and get that 1% if you wanted to. Just have to know your draw rate. Sent from my iPhone using Pressure Washing Resource ---

1% is way to high for children’s toys. not only do you run the risk of rusting fittings, what if the soap does not get completely rinsed? Got to be more carefully around a preschool!! I would be more around 1000 - 2500ppm, that’s about .25% or less. ---

We use test strips to test at levels lower than 1% ---

OK guys, I did the first playground today and it was gross all black and moldyand I spent way too long rinsing to be sure I got absolutely everything off. My next question… Is there anything I could have run the the DS at the end that would have just neutralized the bleach? Im sure I read somewhere that AC Lockeyer had a product but I would rater DS than need to pull out the roof pump to apply. Any thoughts.

water will dilute it and sun/time will neutralize it, I dont know of a chemical neutralizer but it would be nice to have when some gets spilled in the bed of the truck ---

Sodium thiosulfate neutralizes bleach. But then you’re adding additional chemicals (and expense). Dilution is the solution. Sunlight takes care of the rest. Sent from my iPhone using Pressure Washing Resource ---

> [@PatriotPowerWashLLC](#): > > can you tell me what 1% total solution entails It’s no different than any other house wash mix. 1% Sodium Hypochlorite and a surfactant. The 1% is likely after it was down streamed through their injector so you’ll want to know what ratio your injector pulls. If you want to know exact you’ll want to do a bucket test. ---
