Summary

Mark Cave, the owner of Softwash UK, discusses the legality of using sodium hypochlorite (bleach) in softwashing. He explains that there is no legal prohibition against using sodium hypochlorite for cleaning surfaces in the UK and that the manufacturers who claim otherwise are incorrect. Cave emphasizes the importance of using proper safety precautions and understanding how to mix chemicals safely. He also highlights the distinction between registered biocides, which require specific labeling and handling procedures, and pure sodium hypochlorite, which can be safely used as a cleaning agent without being registered as a biocide. He concludes by encouraging softwash contractors to be proud of their work and to uphold high standards of professionalism.
