Building to clean

[Dave Olson]

I have some pictures of a building that we have tested. This first picture shows a section that we used Baking Soda (Wadu) at about 3000 psi.

Result (I think was fair) but don't think the building can handle that much abuse (it is about 100 years old).

The next picture shows a different part on the same side of the building, using an HF acid based product. Down side of using acid is of course (we don't like to use it) this building is in a downtown location and as you will see in the following picture it has a lot of windows!

This last picture shows the East side (opposite side of testing). Preaty Neat building!

Any of you suppliers/distributors have a product that you think could do this job for us?

Dave, contact Jim Dietrich at Dietrich Chemicals in Wisconsin. He won't steer you wrong?

What else have you cleaned with the baking soda, and how are your costs running compared to chemical treatment? have you used soda to do new construction brick cleaning?

Thanks for the replies guys.

We have used our soda blaster inside storage tanks for a few industrial accounts. Besides that we use it for graffiti removal.

Cost of soda is generally higher than chemicals. but it depends on what the application is of course.
