its not a sales pitch lee,clever wash would be lauramine oxide although you can use sodium laureth ether sulphate,commonly known as sles or sls,

those two are the only surfactants that match the ph of hypo (a ph of 12)using fairy or similar would work but wouldn't be nearly as effective.

as fairy and the like are designed to work in a broad range of ph levels and are very much watered down

i do have the clever app if you wanted details on the amounts to mix if you wanted

Is that the Lauramine oxide that you mean?

So this can be added to the Hypo instead of Softwash or another branded mix?

Thanks

Agree with Alec if it's not going on a wall roof etc where it needs surfactant don't allways need it- I bought a second hand clever injector yesterday chap chucked in a drum of the clever wash so I will be trying out in near future- think you add 400ml per 20 litres hypo

No mate but I'm reading that it's expensive compared to Hypo.. Metaclear is another but people tend to use this for sandstone sills
