Two Step Question

[Dave R]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

when using the two step process for house washing how strong should my mixes be so far i have not noticed any real difference from my single step regular house wash. I used citric acid followed by a caustic based soap if any one could explain how they go about a two step process for oxidation removal it would be much appreciated thanks in advance.

What Are You Washing Off The House?i Know This Is An Old Post But I Was Just Curious As To Why You Are Two Stepping A Home.if Its Mildew Use Bleach + Good Detergent + Cascade Or A Tsp

I have two stepped aluminum houses before to get rid of the oxidation.

Two stepping is applying an acid followed by a soap (caustic) and then rinsing. The acid breaks the dirt bond the saop reacts with the acid to lift it and then it is rinsed off. This is usually done in fleet washing but some have success in washing aluminum siding with it.
Do a search to find out more.

thats the best and shortest answer to two stepping i have ever heard .....good job larry

 

[Paul Kassander]

Yes very concise. Be extra careful two stepping homes, the acid will react whith the glass and burn it if you are not extra careful (done that).
