Newbie Sodium Hydroxide Question

[Terry Campbell]

I'm a Newbie at using Sodium Hydroxide Beads, I have a few Dumpster enclosures to do and they have grease rendering containers in them, some are not to bad, but a couple are real nasty and the cleaner that I have been using does not get it clean enough for me. What is the best way to apply this stuff. I have a down streamer, so I was wondering if I can down stream this or should I buy an X-JET to apply it ? or is there something better or safer to use to get this Grease up off the concrete and block walls and any safety tips would be nice too, I have been reading up on this stuff and want to make sure I do it safely.

I have been using some Landa L-217 and it works good on most of the stuff I use it on, But the real thick grease that has been there forever I can't seem to get it as clean as I want it and this stuff is not cheap either.

Any help would be Appreciated on this subject.


Thanks Terry........

its not safe , if you are going to use it try to neutralize it as well , someone could get burned even after you are gone ! The stuff is Nasty and so are the burns , we use it but its not for the newbie to be honest , its real dangerous

What kind of cleaner would you recommend instead of this for deep cleaning ? I have done alot of dumpster pads but I have a couple I don't think the stuff I use will clean the way I want it too. I would rather not mess with this stuff if I don't have to. Is there something I can buy thats works better then the Landa L-217 that I'm now using or I can mix myself to save money.
