    Toughest GFS yet !

    Best I’ve found is around £30 for 5L of surfactant and it’s probably around the same in shipping

    Toughest GFS yet !

    Delivery times aren’t too bad… it’s just the expense really for just postage.

    Toughest GFS yet !

    Mate, we literally have nowhere here for supplies! Everything has to be ordered online! Just as well actually because the prices they would charge here wouldn’t be worth it anyway!

    They’re expensive if you live in Guernsey pal. No git sends them over here without charging an arm and a leg!  I spray through a brush head as it helps me work it in whilst spraying so I don’t usually get much drift. Just seems that day was an exception.

    That’s brilliant mate! And you’re talking about thick bleach aren’t you as it clings better to vertical surfaces. I’ve only done softwashing for a couple of years and did a ton of research about it all. I became a proper google, YouTube and forum nerd! Glad I did though as we have done plenty...

    Awesome! Gonna give this a go! I always wondered but have got a huge stock of different types of TFR to use so never bothered. All for it if it gets the **** off quicker. Cheers pal!

    Hold on? You add store bleach to hypo? Surprised you haven’t had the backlash everyone else gets on here when they try adding anything to hypo.    We use farm yard hypo but are always adding the expensive surfactant and scent mask to it in order to get the best performance. It seems as though...

    SH surface help

    Absolutely awesome job that mate! A friend of mine just used a weak mix to pre treat his limestone before pressure washing and it came up brilliantly! Just repeating what I’ve found that’s all..... haven’t had a bad experience with it yet at all.

    SH surface help

    Seems to bring sandstone up brilliantly. I spoke with a local paving expert recently who tried selling me some overpriced cleaners and he said SH is not suitable for any natural stones but all I’ve ever heard is to never use it on limestone.

    SH surface help

    It’s limestone you’re not supposed to use it on as it can react and turn the stone brittle apparently?

    SH surface help

    Hi guys,  I am constantly searching the web and studying about all things softwash/SH based! One thing I can’t seem to look up is a definitive list of surfaces whereby you cannot use SH or where you must use weak solution.  So far we operate using basic rules: PVC: 1% mix  Render: 1-2% mix ...

    What do spent resin/filters look like?

    You are by far the most knowledgable guy on here Spruce. Reading through a lot of your comments I’ve learned a lot from you and continue to! Thanks again for the reply mate as that’s cleared it up a little more! I do so much digging to learn more and more about everything windows cleaning...

    What do spent resin/filters look like?

    Hi lads,  just wondering if any of you had pictures of what spent resin and filters look like. My sediment and carbon pre filters are apparently needing to be changed every 9-12 months but the last time I changed them they were pretty much as white as the day I installed them. Also I’ve had 11L...

    Tricky glass....

    Right lads.... We have cleaned these windows for the past 8 months, on the first visit we cleaned them with WFP and realized the water didn’t sheet off so assumed hydrophobic glass and rinsed thoroughly. We noticed that there was residue or something still on it and they looked awful once dry...

    Anybody use Greenwash (Purple Rhino) ???

    So you always chuck your surfactant into your neat hypo then when you need it you just dilute to the correct strength and away you go? Will be nice if I could get away with that as would save me taking an extra tub of surfactant to every job.  This is for you PJJ

    Anybody use Greenwash (Purple Rhino) ???

    That’s what we are doing at the moment too. It’s not always necessary though.

    Anybody use Greenwash (Purple Rhino) ???

    There are scent masks you can get. Bonnymans do one. I’ve used pet de odouriser, you can get 20 liters of concentrate for just £20. You can use it with so many things as it’s water based. I have not yet chucked it in the hypo as need to test the ph levels just to be sure. At the moment I just...

    Anybody use Greenwash (Purple Rhino) ???

    Awesome!! I’ve been concerned about popping the surfactant straight into the hypo as I’ve heard it may kill it after a while or whatever but it seems many do it this way and it’s fine. A definitive answer would be nice.    I didn’t have any surfactant and have had an old barrel of 15% hypo I...

    Anybody use Greenwash (Purple Rhino) ???

    Correction, 3-500ml is per 25L of neat hypo so it’d be around 20ml per liter of hypo  Do you add your surfactant straight to a 25L tub of neat hypo?

    300-500ml  Correction, 3-500ml is per 25L of neat hypo so it’d be around 20ml per liter of hypo
