PrepEZZ is premium duty exterior house wash specifically formulated to be used
for pre-paint prep work where the surface must be ‘squeaky clean.’ PrepEZZ is also a phenomenal oxidation removing product that will leave behind
a unique ‘paint bonding’ film that will extend the life of the paint and promote a mildew retardant
surface. For the absolute very best results downstream inject using the Allison Super
Suds Sucker (p/n 1964).
Mixing Instructions: Read and understand these instructions before starting to
mix this product. Use warm water (never hot - not to exceed 120 degrees F).
Warm water helps powders go into solution more easily. Hot water, on the other
hand, will blow apart many of the surfactants utilized in the formulary
process. It is possible to use cold water but additional manual agitation may
be required. Use a clean poly drum; fill it approximately 50% full with warm
water. Place the nozzle of a high-pressure washer close to the bottom of the
drum and continue filling while adding the powder slowly. When the drum is 90%
full all the powder should have been added. Continue filling until the drum is
full. The result is 10 gallons of liquid concentrate that is now ready for use.
Dilutions: The amount you dilute PrepEZZ House depends on many factors and
cannot be covered by one statement. The following guidelines are a starting
point from which you should adjust. Chemical dilution rates need to be adjusted
because of weather conditions, cleaning difficulty, washing method used,
including PSI and whether or not you brush, and desired result. Remember that a
typical downstream injector is already diluting the product approximately 1
part detergent to 9 parts water (10%) for most injectors or 2 parts product to
8 parts water (20%) with an Allison super suds sucker injector.
Starting Dilution: 1 part product to 70 parts water
(Salesmen will tell you very high dilution rates attempting to make you think
their product is the best. Actual washing experience is the only way to
determine what is right for you. Remember, detergent is much cheaper than
labor.)
Washing technique: Coat the surface to be cleaned with PrepEZZ using low
pressure. High-pressure wash the surface removing the detergent and released
dirt. Never apply to an area larger than you can wash off prior to the product
drying on the surface. Apply PrepEZZ from the bottom upward and rinse from the
top downward. Do not apply to the surface under high pressure. If you do you
will be forcing the detergent into small areas, up under the siding and around
window trim. When this happens it is impossible to rinse those areas. You will
leave the job site thinking all is well only to receive a phone call from the
customer saying that the detergent has ‘dripped’ from those areas and ‘streaked’ the surface. This will cause the paint to lift or flake if not re-rinsed and
allowed to dry thoroughly.
We recommend the use of an Allison High Induction Chemical Injector that easily
attaches to any pressure washer. This injector will afford you the ability to
apply the product at low pressure and quickly rinse at high pressure. When
using an injector it is important to remember that when you are changing from
low pressure application to high pressure rinse, you will have a ‘hose full’ of detergent that will come out under high pressure until the fresh water
appears. Make it a practice to always clear this high pressure detergent on the
bottom of the foundation and not in the air or on the siding.
Note: It is important to always rinse well and when you think you are done -
rinse again. This should be common practice with all cleaning solutions. Pay
special attention to horizontal surfaces that may trap detergent allowing it to
run down onto surfaces after you have washed them. Try not to put detergent in
these areas, if you do be sure to get it rinsed off to leave a streak free
surface.
Make it a practice to always read and insist your employees read and understand
the MSDS that accompanies this product.
CAUTION - Avoid Alkaline Shock: Any detergent product that is applied to a hot
surface stands a chance of producing alkaline shock. The surface is hot - a
strong solution of detergent is applied - the water evaporates from the product
before you have a chance to rinse - all resulting in a dull, streaked or
tarnished surface which is often irreversible. Cool the surface down with water
first then apply the product. On real hot days turn off the burner and wash
with cold water.
