Brick Mausoleum Cleaning

if you tape I would try that green frog painters tape. I have no idea how SH reacts with bronze.

Michael Derose · SoftWash Systems Certified Applicator

If it does react I think you can use f9 to bring it back but I would check with Craig first.

John Orrico · SoftWash Systems Authorized Professional

I would recommend One Restore from Eaco Chem.

Hi Bob,

I have done a handful of Mausoleum they are easy. DO NOT USE F9! F9 is excellent but not for that.

Michael Derose · SoftWash Systems Certified Applicator

Thanks. Jason.

Bob Riddick · SoftWash Systems 5-Star Professional

Jason, did you do anything to protect the bronze? Or is it even necessary?

Eric Seitz · Sophmore Member

Hot water?

Jason Mariano · SoftWash Systems Authorized Professional

Bob ,

The bronze was fine I just rinsed pretty fast. But it came out good.

Jason Mariano · SoftWash Systems Authorized Professional

Soft wash the whole thing

Cool pictures/project for your portfolio! Nice work

Bob Riddick · SoftWash Systems 5-Star Professional

Thanks guys. Jason, a picture is worth 1000 words. Thank you.

The manufacturer sent me some flat pieces I can run tests on. They also said my cleaning solution should have no adverse effect on their bronze.

I'll post pictures after we're done. Thanks again.

Thank you very much

The bronze will be fine.

Guys do yourself a favor and download a chemical compatibility chart

No roof cleaner should be without one:

catalog.gpi.net/Asset/Chemical-Compatibility-Ver-6.pdf

Some will show a broad range of metals and plastics. This info will help in your repairs and build materials.

That first chart I posted in the post above is not that good, you want one with a range like this one instead of just recommended and not recommended:

Aloha Bill,

The hoseflex link doesn't seem to be working. Can you check if it is correct please. I have been using the initial one you posted and am curious about the difference.

Thanks Brother!

got a pic or 2?

Bob Riddick · SoftWash Systems 5-Star Professional

Final pics. Bronze was not an issue, slight oxidation so we used a little F-13. Church members quite pleased. Trinity Finished 001.JPG

Awesome job! Surrounding pavers done as well? I keep saying I'm new and a sponge... lol how long for the project and how much chemical, approximately. I'm just trying to wrap my head around all of the great info I find on this board.

Bob Riddick · SoftWash Systems 5-Star Professional

Jesse, this job was about six hours. We cleaned entirely with 3% CH, less than 50 gallons.

I have more pictures to put up tomorrow.
