Always carry some antiseptic hand wash, as you sometimes get cat and dog feces on the hose which covers your hands, and this adds a strange tang to any subsequent sandwiches you eat !

I sometimes wonder if people actually know what they are using or carrying!  It will be a wonderful investment if the container bursts or gets a puncture in the van ;D ;D ;D

We get customers who carry sodium hydrochlorite coming in with completely white pumps / gearboxes blocked up with salt :)

They don't it just sits in the van - they obviously spray on with a pressure sprayer etc but the angels share gets into everything and crystallises with the heat :D

Guilty  of that myself  ;D
I need a decent way to spray the hypo, I have gone through 3 trolley pumps, and it just eats them !
