TSP on concrete

[Mark 8262]

I have done some searches but have found little info on using TSP on concrete. Is it effective for cleaning drive through lanes? dumpster pads/grease/oil spots?

I know its not the most environmentally friendly chemical out there, just checking..thanks

It works but not the best choice for that type of work.

What would be the best choice in your opinion?

It depends on what you want to clean.

For dirty concrete, a good soap or mild degreaser (but not close to asphalt).

For oily/greasy concrete, a stronger degreaser (not to be used around asphalt).

What are you planning to clean?

Thank you Jim. Who do buy your chemicals from?

I have good luck with TSP and Caustic Soda downstreamed. Sometimes I add Purple Power. Dwell, surface cleaner, rinse well and neutralize with oxalic.

Pat, I have thought about trying caustic beads on bank drive thru's and service stations. How many ounces of caustic per gallon of water would be a good starting point?

for downstreaming I usually use a large scoop of caustic and one of TSP if lots of mildew I'll also use 12.5% Bleach. If more grease I'll up the caustic. My scoop is probably 16 or 20 ounces.

Jim C in you opinion how much more effective on oil is Z greaser vs Powerstroke?

Have you ever added the oil/carbon Emulsifier (OCB) booster to powerstroke?
