What % SH is safe for wood?

That’s what it’s all about. Finding out what works best for you. I tried a 40 for a couple jobs and it just didn’t seem as efficient for me.

I think too it depends how bad the deck is, I have used 25 on some real dirty ones and worked better. But majority of decks I do are maintenance type decks, with some being little worse, so most of the time I can use my 40. I used 25 on my deck this year but I was stripping it so the 25 seemed to work good.

About 1800. If it’s bad enough that I use the SC on, I want some wood gone, lol.

Ox is ridiculously fast and makes the biggest difference! Do you have a portable battery sprayer? You could literally put it on and M5 twist nozzle rinse it off in a matter of minutes. I usually use citric acid it’s much safer and works great. I only use ox if the nails are rusted. I actually love doing wood now. I also use restore by deck restoration plus which has sodium meta-silicate in it and that stuff is amazing. The product is for higher end jobs that cost a lot more money but it’s awesome to watch wood transform to look pretty much new again!

lol a discount

What about regular condition decks. I thought an sc was a no no. I put 4 3.5 tips on my sc to use in general to bring the psi down would that be ok to use on any wood deck that isn’t falling apart?

I never use on one with decent wood. The only time I use is one that’s basically almost beyond repair or for someone who could care less, they just want the crud cleaned off of it so they don’t slip when it’s wet… But it cleans them up good.

It came out great with doing 1%, 10-15 dwell time and 1000 psi. The upprr deck was a pain to get the outside rail and spindles! 2.5 hours total, right about what I was expecting.
