We've gone through 2 gallons. Works great. Rinses real well from windows.

You're welcome AC!

Quick question - I've not seen much posted about this product so for mixing with a 50 gallon mix you'd just use 1/6 the amount so instead of 50 ounces of GW you'd use 8 or 9 ounces obviously.

But for those using DPI, would you just mix this with 5 parts water and 1 part condensed GW for the DPI use?

Troy,

We just received our first shipment of GW6X. We are going to dump it in a 55 gallon drum in our warehouse & dilute to regular strength. Then we can draw from there. Hate to see a pail of 6X left behind on a job site, or spilled over

Gemplers has a Tip n Measure or Pour n Measure 1 gallon jug with a 8 ounce measure all self contained.

Great tip Tim. I was looking at those before but didn't find them useful...but that was before this 6X GW.

I was also considering how to transport, etc. I decided diluting to "normal" strength right away would be best as well. Employees will never be as careful as they should, and a few ounces spilled a day at around a buck and ounce is too risky. Normal spillage and the occasional accident will erase your shipping savings pretty quick.

Incidentally, I currently carry a milk crate with 48oz Nalgene wide mouth sport bottles, the crate will hold 7 of them with a couple other things in it. I have 4 GW, 2 TW, and 1 FW every normal day when the truck rolls. The Nalgene bottles are Lexan and pretty much unbreakable, and they happen to hold exactly the right amount if you overfill them to the very top.

Great Idea!

Frank Bainer with Dr. Roof' n Shine said he uses a milk crate and cranapple drink bottles.

Be cautious of using unlabeled or incorrectly labeled container. Any product that requires an MSDS (SDS) must also be in a correctly labeled container--that includes the storage container as well as something like a spray bottle.

Yeah, employees never seem to truly appreciate the cost of items if they are not the ones actually spending the cash to buy it. I bought 1 gallon sizes of everything and pour my 5 gallon pails into the 1 gallon as they start to run low to reduce carrying soaps by volume to job sites and reduce costs if I spill or leave one behind. Works great for a low production company like mine.
