Hi Vince
I'd think it best not to mix any chemicals especially not bleach and bog cleaner.
I was a health and safety officer when I worked on the railways and under the COSH laws (care of substances hazardous to health) which included cleaning products was a very very strict rule NOT to mix anything or even clean with one product and then later clean with another.
Cheers

bleach and caustic soda in a hot water solution is great for cleaning the drive.....sugar and weedkiller makes a great little bomb, and petrol, polystyrene and iron filings makes great crude napalm.....hope this helps...lol..

Duke ...... what did you do for a living before you became a window cleaner ?
-
Hi Duke
Ever worked abroad? ;D
-
you'd be amazed at what I've done over the years......

lapdancer ? Duke

sugar and weedkiller makes a great little bomb
Not exactly true. You first require a fertiliser (not weed killer) with a high amonium nitrate content (not available in Northern Ireland). Anything above 15% is good stuff.
You then have to boil it and let it cool. A 'scum' which crytalises around the top is the end result. You then grind the cystalised scum, the finer the better, in some industrial grinder (or a large comercial coffee grinder) and mix it with both sugar and diesal (in certain amounts obviously).
The net result is a low grade explosive called ANFO, (Amonium Nitrate Fuel Oil).
You then require a detonator (easilyishly made) and some sort of switch and battery!
Works great in an under vehicle booby trap! The low grade explosive produces an extremely effective 'ripple effect', rather than a purely 'directional' military explosive based bomb!
However:
As young soldier a friend of mine mixed mixed a bleach and toilet cleaner while cleaning the toilet floor. It was awful. It fizzed and produced extremely noxious fumes that I believe is clorine (used in World War 1 as a chemical attack agent).
Made our eyes water, hurt our airways and we had to sluice the place out with a fire hose in the end.
Why do you want to mix chemicals in the first place?
-
I used sodium sulphate...and that is a weedkiller.....we blew up a big hole in my mates Dad's newly seeded back lawn.....I didn't go round for a while....
-
or was it chlorate...can't remember now...it was back in the early 70's anyway....all in a biscuit tin..
-
if you're really interested in such things....then The Anarchists Cookbook is a good one to get...if you can find it these days....but as Tosh sais...why do you need to know ?

Any Ulster lads (or Occupied Six County lads) available as an 'expert' to sort this one out?
What's better amonium nitrate, or sodium sulphate/clorate?
Regards.

I know, Mate, just a bit of fun. No offence either towards the North of Ireland lot either! I think the Irish are great whatever their politics! A bit like Geordies; full of fun!

This forum is so useful. Even advice for a window cleaner's turf war. A 1000 lts. would make a hell of a splash.

Sort of clean their loo's and blow them up at the same time.

when i was about 14 i used to get a jam jar or big coffee jar and quickly fill it with every cleaning liquid and powder i could find from under the sink , & then put the lid on , shake the jar and leg it!! it used to fire up about 10/12 foot!(some times i had to whack the jar with a broomstick first ;, whilst sheilding my eyes!) ; ;D

That is WILD!

To drag this back onto the topic.
Vgcwcs, what do you need to know this for?
A little more info would be useful, the replies you get may then not get MI5 monitoring the forum for potential terrorist activists :o
We really could do with an 'Off Topic' area, as interesting as it may be, I don't see much in this that is window cleaning related :-\
