I know you shouldn’t store chemicals together - but nearly dropped me bacon sandwich this morning :eek:
I went to get some degreaser out the van & my Winsol 550 had managed to split the plastic & leaked all in with the other chemical bottles in a huge plastic container. Luckily I bag each chemical bottle & twist tie each one seperately. But if they had mixed - there would have been a huge bang.
How does everyone else carry chemicals?
I make crystal meth in my car
Sadly to say Karlos, I carry mine in the bed of my cleaning truck. They’re loose, but confined to a small area. I have had them spill before though. I don’t carry anything regularly that is more harmful than bleach though. Just GG4, a small bottle of dish soap, Tide, and Bleach. Maybe a can of “GOOF-OFF”, and bee/wasp spray. Good thought about being more careful. I am trying to buy a van with bins and shelfs for all of this.
Mix bleach with most wc products - kaboom!
I stored them in a big plastic container with lid - & double bagged as well.
Has anyone else had probs with Winsol containers? I had the same problem with awning cleaning fluid.
Not me but I also get the 5 gal bucket of 550. so to make it easy to carry I pour some into another bottle. I only carry about 12 oz. at any time. More if I know I am going to need it. I do find that the sun here destroys the plastic bottles fast. I have a tool box in my truck that keeps the chems divided pretty well. it’s also where I keep my dirty wet hucks so if anything spills they contain it all pretty well.
Gotta admit I am a bit sloppy in transporting my window cleaning chemicals. I have a Tundra Super Cab and I keep half of the back seat with two plastic crates stocked full of GG3, GG4, Dawn, Ammonia, Sorbo Powder, Tide and other stuff like micro fiber rags.
I have yet to have a spill but this thread prompts that reality. Tomorrow after I finish working I am going to organize that stuff and bag up each bottle just in case. Thanks for the reminder.
Just curious…what do you guys cary Tide for? I only carry Dawn and non-amonia cleaner currently so no harsh chemicals to worry about.
Tide w/ bleach alternative is great for cleaning screens.
You got it Tony…seems to not leave the residue. Gotta use the bleach alternative though.
And let’s not forget to carry MSDS on all chemicals in the vehicle in case of accidents.
I had a bottle of oil flo spill in my bucket with my razor and some rubbers. I found it on monday and my razor looked like it had melted and I had to throw everything away.
If you go to our Links Tab on the top left side of our homepage there is a whole msds section.
We carry 18 different soaps and chemicals and all there MSDS are up there for free download. So help your self!
You really should carry a msds for every chemical you have. Even GG3 and GG4
Good looking out Chris. Thanks!
I guess I DO learn something new every day!! I hate screens by the way.
Why?
I guess I don’t hate the screen…I just hate taking it in and out. I always have at least one that doesn’t want to go back in as easy as it came out. I always feel like I’m going to drop it from the 2nd floor window when I’m trying to fannagle it back into it’s place. They are nice for a few extra bucks though i guess.
