The Power of Sodium Hypochlorite: Why We Choose This Effective Cleaning Agent.
Introduction:
At Revive Housewash, we're committed to providing the best possible cleaning experience for our customers. As an industry standard, sodium hypochlorite is a widely used and trusted cleaning agent that's effective against dirt and grime, kills bacteria and viruses, and is safe for your home and the environment. In this blog post, we'll explore the benefits of using sodium hypochlorite and how it fits into our softwash cleaning method.
What is Sodium Hypochlorite?
Sodium hypochlorite is a widely used disinfectant and cleaning agent that's commonly found in household bleach. It's a strong oxidizing agent that's effective against a wide range of organic and inorganic substances, making it an ideal choice for cleaning and disinfecting surfaces.
Why Do We Use Sodium Hypochlorite?
Effective against dirt and grime: Sodium hypochlorite is excellent at breaking down and removing dirt, grime, and other substances that can accumulate on your home's exterior. It's particularly effective at removing stubborn stains and discolorations.
Kills bacteria and viruses: Sodium hypochlorite is a powerful disinfectant that's effective against a wide range of bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms. This makes it an ideal choice for cleaning and disinfecting surfaces that are prone to bacterial and viral growth.
Safe for most surfaces: Sodium hypochlorite is generally safe to use on most surfaces, including concrete, brick, stone, and metal. However, it's always important to take necessary precautions and follow our guidelines for use to ensure the safety of your home and its occupants.
Environmentally friendly: Sodium hypochlorite is biodegradable and non-toxic, making it a more environmentally friendly choice compared to other cleaning agents. It's also non-corrosive, which means it won't damage your home's surfaces or equipment.
How Do We Use Sodium Hypochlorite?
At Revive Housewash, we use sodium hypochlorite in a concentrated form that's specifically designed for use in our house washing services. We carefully dilute the solution with water into our batch mix tank and apply it through our softwash pump to create a safe and effective cleaning agent that's suitable for use on your home's exterior. We typically use it between a 1% and 3% strength, which allows us to effectively clean and disinfect surfaces without causing any damage.
Surfactants: The Secret to Better Cleaning
In addition to sodium hypochlorite, we often mix in top quality Australian-made housewash surfactants to enhance the cleaning power of our solution. Surfactants are molecules that reduce the surface tension of water, allowing it to penetrate deeper into the surface and lift away dirt and grime more effectively. This means that our solution can reach into tiny crevices and corners, removing dirt and debris that might otherwise be left behind.
Corrosion Concerns
While sodium hypochlorite is generally safe for most surfaces, it can be corrosive to certain materials, such as aluminum, copper, and zinc. It can also cause certain types of stone to etch or discolour. At Revive Housewash, we take precautions to minimize the risk of corrosion or damage, including using specialized equipment and techniques, and taking steps to protect sensitive surfaces by covering them or avoiding them completley.
