Muriatic Acid Patio Cleaning

[@manujaen3999]

UPDATE:1 year and still cranks within the first 2-3 pulls. Probably will buy another when this one finally does bite the dust kzbin.infoUgkx43QMbQqu67IZadu9ou8Sg1BdrunMRNqX . No issues at all. Very happy with it.UPDATE: After 6 months of use and over 70 uses I would still highly recommend this pressure washer. It does vibrate a decent amount but never had it “walk” like others have mentioned. No oil leaks, still seems to run like the day I bought it. Still cranks within 2-3 pulls every time. Very happy with my purchase!Have used it about a dozen times now. Plenty of power, cranks up on 1-2 pulls every time. My only complaint would be I wish it was a little taller to make it easier to walk with it (hits my ankles a lot) and that the two hose connections were a little further apart but it hasn’t caused me any issues. Seems to run a good 1-1/2-2 hrs on a full tank, overall a well built machine and definitely worth the money in my opinion.

[@Mark-fe3oj]

Didn't catch it, but did they neutralize the acid before rinsing it off? That and the lack of safety equipment would make me nervous.

Do I need to purchase the special acid resistant footwear demonstrated in this video?

Not wearing protective gear is just stupid - They will pay the price one day - Safety is just as important as prep for the job

Most professional video on KZbin in regards to effectively cleaning a patio w/ Muriatic acid. Well done and thank you for showing me something I can do for our house. Mitch in HOUSTON

No gloves ? No mask ? No safety goggles? I’m sure this is osha approved 😂

[@lindazjunk]

I recently had a 1000 sq ft colored bluegray patio and walkway poured, and the patio came out with crazing (map cracks) over 50% of the patio, two tone colors, spotting and brown streaks, pits, a low spot and two different finishes (brushed and smooth), and efflorescence chalky finish. Everything that could go wrong, did. He poured it in 90 degree CA weather after i asked him to wait, he refused. The contractor said he can "fix" it with acid washing. In your opinion, would acid washing make it better or worse? Not only is it not the finish I originally wanted, but I am concerned that the acid wash will only accentuate the problems. I think I'm getting myself into more trouble. In your professional opinion, do you think I should try it?

[@ashh3051]

How did it go?

Great job in the stone, but for the love if God get some fettizer on the grass! 🤣 great demo guys, great video.

[@missmonasuzette]

Our brand new, 12,000$ Tennessee Blue Orchard flagstone patio was completely destroyed when our contractor washed it with a 10% muriatic acid to water wash. What used to be beautiful grey stone has completely changed color and looks like it has peanut butter spread all over it. Never put any kind of acid on natural stone!!!! I hope this comment saves someone from destroying their patio. You've been warned.

[@cheechmo5]

Happened to me too. What’s the solution??

[@jmabarker1]

I’ve noticed this happens to grey coloured natural stone when washed with acid. Think it brings certain minerals to the surface, I believe they fade out somewhat over time.

[@W333dm4n]

how u clean mortar off then? you gotta acid clean once its installed to make it look good

[@susanlwalkup8976]

Thank you very much for sharing that. I am sorry that happened to you.

[@W333dm4n]

@@cheechmo5 i guess resurfacing is the only option. as far as finishes, I know acid etched, sandblasted, etc. you gotta speak to the stone company

[@aburt6141]

To me these videos are just calming- 💀

[@iandanger883]

I'm sure these guys have been doing this for years. Having said that, if this is the demonstration they confidently decided to film and upload to KZbin, I shudder to think what their usual routine looks like or how much property damage they've caused.

[@broadcast20081]

I hear so much warning about the use of that acid, that it could burn your skin, if you smell the fumes your longs can get burned, the advice the use of thick clothes, mask, goggles, etc..... and why the men of the video are using nothing of that??

[@broadcast20081]

We have to be very careful with what we watch. A video can inform you and it can also mislead you.

[@danielfl.9347]

They have no proper instructions or education to tell them that. For them this is completely okay. For me this is crazy.

[@edmundkemp2280]

Well, the man is mixing a 1\2 a gallon of muriatic acid with 5 gallons of water, so as terribly dangerous as this acid is, it is not so dangerous when significantly diluted. There are many acid based cleaners that are not so dangerous, especially when outside in the open air. Chlorine is another very dangerous chemical when one is exposed to it in a heavily concentrated form. It was used in mustard gas back in WW2 to kill enemy soldiers. However, there are many household cleaners you can buy that have chlorine in them but they are not so dangerous because the chlorine is not so concentrated. People swim in swimming pools that are not dangerous because the chlorine in the water is so diluted--between 1ppm and 3ppm. Also the air inside of indoor pools does usually have a definite presence of chlorine, as can be detected by smell, but the air is not dangerous to breath, according to safety regulations. Just my 2 cents. But after saying all of that, it would still be fine all the same to wear a breathing mask as a precaution.

What kind of stone is this

[@FrenchConnection67]

would acid remove any tint that I had been applied on my brickwork? the tint was to blend two different colours of brick that my house was build with.

[@SidwSace]

Yes.

[@rhondamccollum4503]

Ummm...I would be mad if they just sprayed the acid off into my grass. You’re suppose to neutralize before removing. Maybe they did and I just missed it.

[@82584]

The acid already reacted with the stone.

[@iandanger883]

The amount of acid they poured all over the place definitely ruined parts of that yard.

[@DavidJ909]

Bleach mixture works on stone and is safer. They're sweeping the excess into the grass

[@NixonVZ]

Damn that shit must've stunk to high heaven when you were sweeping it around

[@mexicanamerican21]

Lol notice no PPE.

[@donatospoony]

You really , really have to know what you’re doing , and proper dilution AND. make sure the a very , very x5 good rinse . That being Said, I think it’s way to risky for a high end stone. (No matter what the contractor tells you ) - my opinion . If you’ve decided to go this route , you’d be absolutely crazy to not do a small test area first. (And leave it for a week) . If you google it there a handful of extremely good biodegradable. Cleaners out there . Just watch enough videos until you see most what people recommend the same one .

[@annamariesisson2426]

Do you acid wash pavers before or after you put lock sand down?

[@W333dm4n]

put what sand down

[@garyt2185]

@@W333dm4n He's probably talking about filler sand like between pavers. The answer is before. But not sure why you would even need to wash pavers if no cement was used.

Same - I don’t think the guy who did it is in business anymore either. Did you ever find anything to make it look better?

[@cfwintner1]

Fortunately, my DIY center warned me against doing what these guys are doing. The acid strips off any paint that might be on top. It's highly toxic and can cause more harm than good. Should never be used without mask and gloves. DIY had me use Simple Green instead which did the job.

[@jonviga]
