SH and paint

gutterdog · Jun 14, 2010

Well, my experience, is SH, sodium hypochlorite is easily handled on painted surfaces. If we talkin house washing that should be discussed elsewhere. SH is also used for sodium hydroxide, but not in this forum.

This is part of the ground persons job. Keep the exterior walls wet before and during the Roof Cleaning application and you won't have any problems.

Since your question asks about the "mixture" I am assuming you mean either apple cider or apple sauce and not just straight SH and water.

Going on this assumption...

The mixture can/will leave streaks in the painted surface if not pre-wet.
The mixture can/will remove seriously chalky paint entirely from a surface if left on too long.

Pre-wet
Rinse
Rinse Again
And you're golden!

Will it damage stucco or deck stain?

A few of us has a problem with a freshly painted surfaces that was dry for 2 weeks but it still needed to cure for 30 +days.

It turned the tan color paint to neon green. We knocked off a hundred dollars and then went back a week later and touched it all up.

Read this thread on it.

The very first rule we tell our helpers is that SH eats the F*** out of everyhting!! With that said, yes it will strip latex deck stain. It will poka dot a dry deck on contact, as well it will burn dry leaves on contact and you and your clothing. Oil based deck stains can usually handle it a little better. Keep everyhting wet and tarped or fire your ground man and make the next one tarp and keep things wet. If your grounds people can not handle this, replace them.
