Title: Sodium hypochlorite
Post by: Jonny Swirljet on April 10, 2017, 06:08:47 pm

Has anyone witnessed any adverse reaction on "Astroturf" when rinsing off sodium hypochlorite from a patio area onto Astroturf after allowing for the dwell time. I found one link that said sodium hypochlorite could be used to kill moss on Astroturf but it didn't go into detail Any information or links for guidance/experiences would be appreciated.

Jonny  why not just get some samples/off-cuts from a local supplier and do your own tests.

No probs Jonny. Quite a few jobs you can get away with just using a cold washer without the need of chems at all for sure.
