We have won a bid on a large project. The customer is now asking us to use a product called [I]Safe n’ Easy Metal Restorer[/I] on the frames. I am going over the MSDS right now and it appears safe enough to use. Usual precautions goggles, gloves, and ventilation. The MSDS states a health rating of 2.
Has anyone used this product?
Any recommendations?
Can anyone recommend a comparable product that is safer to use?
It is a pretty simple solution that is found in many commercial janitorial products
It is a phosphoric acid with a surfactant (joy) and a degreaser (butoxyethanol) in it. You could probably buy a 12 to 18% phosphoric clinging bowl cleaner, dilute it with some water and add some joy to act as a surfactant.
When mixing your own solutions, check to make sure it doesn’t breach the annodized “paint” on the frames.
