Tractorman810 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 After some help if you guys can help , in particular the dairy guys on here . We were told of a cleaner used for concrete by a friend recently that's basicly put down on the surface , left 5 mins then just hosed down . Used for parlour and yard cleaning without the need for a pressure washer. Does anyone know the name for it please as we have forgotten it. All we know is they bought it from a farmers merchants.

TM190 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Hydrochloric Acid should do the job if mixed right, or even put on straight then just hosed of with garden hose after 5-10 min Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 i know it was a luqid stuff that they recomended, so it may be the acid blake, they didnt say it had been mixed down either, just put on with a watering can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakescot Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 sounds like the deosan hypochloride or similar right enough to me too. there used to be a heap of rather nasty chemicals left here from the dairy days for removing the milk stone and such. we used to sneak into the shed and do all sorts with some of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
