What are the cleaning expectations with caustic? If a property has been neglected will one cleaning with caustic bring it back? I recently did a restaurant that had been maintained with a cold water machine and I assume no chems. Black in front of the entrance from the foot traffic and the dumpster pad was bad. I did use F-18 on these areas mixed one pound to two gallons of water and downstreamed on then hot water. The property definitely was cleaner but I think the manager was expecting something better. I will do this property again in a month and have ordered caustic soda beads to try this time.
Will the property look better after each month's cleaning? Is there a point of neglect where no cleaner can restore the concrete or make it better? Is once a month adequate to see continued improvement if that is possible? How do others set the customers expectations?
