Hey guys, it’s Coty from Southeast Softwash. Today, we’re cleaning up my driveway, which is covered in leaves and those stubborn tannin stains that come from leaf oils. If you’ve got lots of trees around your property like I do, you know the drill: the leaves fall, and before long, your driveway is covered in stains. But, don’t worry—there’s an easy solution.
Cleaning Tannin Stains with SH
Today, we’re using a 1.5% SH (Sodium Hypochlorite) mix applied through our Downstream injector on the work truck. This is a simple, no-fuss method that doesn’t even require a hot mix. Here’s how we do it:
-
Blow off the leaves: Start by clearing away any loose leaves and debris from the driveway.
-
Mix and apply the SH solution: Using our Downstream injector, we spray a 1.5% SH mixture onto the stains. SH is highly effective at breaking down the oils from the leaves that cause those tannin stains.
-
Use the Smart Stream system: One of the coolest features of our work truck is the Smart Stream remote control system. With just the push of a button, we can start and stop the chemical application from wherever we are—no need to run back and forth to the truck! This saves a lot of time and effort when covering large areas.
The Smart Stream system isn’t just about convenience—it also helps prolong the life of your equipment. Here’s why:
-
Automatic Flush: Every time you turn off the chemical application with Smart Stream, it automatically switches to a water rinse. This means that your Downstream injector gets flushed out with clean water after every use, protecting it from corrosion and buildup.
-
Retains Flow: Unlike other systems that cut off flow when you stop the chemical application, Smart Stream retains full water flow during the rinse, so you’re not losing any pressure.
For those of you using downstream injectors, we’ve also added a skunk check valve to our truck. This upgrade boosts bleach strength by about 10–15%, which makes cleaning even more effective. That extra power is especially useful when tackling tough stains like the tannins on my driveway.
