Just think of all those chemicals they are breathing in as aerosols. Good for the lungs and body. In old age, or older age, maybe they will reap the reward.

This is precisely why I don't do softwashing....

I also hate the smell of bleach...it turns my stomach....

Great job though...I bet the customers were very happy with the results.it looks like a brand new building!👍
price higher/work harder!

You can wear a chemical mask, but to be honest, being outside with a fairly low strength hypo mix is not going to cause any harm at all.

Indoors with little ventilation, then yeah, but outside it’s not going to be an issue. Wearing a mask sorts it out completely.

Where does it run to? Do the environment agency need to know your pouring hypo into the drains or water table? ;D

You do realise don't you that household bleach is about 2% Hypo and yet do you question pouring it down the sink or using it in the garden etc.

So let's be a little realistic here guys

Down the sink is one thing, into drains that feed into streams etc is another.........
I’m sure it’s fine. I wonder what the EA would say? Crack on?

The thing is with hypo, by the time it would get into any river it’d be completely neutralised.

I think a lot of people think a siftwash mix is some sort of extremely dangerous high strength chemical, when in reality it’s just watered down bleach.

Maybe.
Our last house, the gutters and drains went straight into the river at the bottom of the garden.

EA are yet to reply.....

Hypo is used extensively in the farming community for washing down cattle sheds etc...

also used to spay over seedling and plants to kill off pests

so it will be very interesting on what EA say

All prep packed and cut salad in supermarkets is washed in a hypo mix before packaging to kill off bacteria and give it a longer shelf life , it’s put into swimming pools and you get it in your eyes , doesn’t blind or kill you , in America they inject  it in all meats again to kill off bacteria to give it a longer shelf life this is why certain groups in this country don’t want a trade deal with America due to this . It’s also in all drinking water , so people who are worried about it will find it difficult to get away from it being used in the food industry , provided it’s used safely it’s like any other product dilution rate for the job in hand is key , wether we like it or not it’s difficult to get away from hypo in our everyday products .
