We use this stuff to clean the ceramic and grout on pool floors, anywhere where there are ceramics. This stuff can kill, if your not careful.

So that's what is wrong with me. I worked with this acid for years growing up cleaning pools. :blink:

Not having met you, I can only only say...........maybe. Working outdoors with this stuff should be okay, in liquid, not as a spray. I've worked indoors for twenty years with it, off and on. Unless I've got a vapour mask on, the stuff burns the crap out of my throat, lungs, anything.

In my job, we have to have WHIMIS training, as most everyone does, and I work with industrial cleaning chemicals, so my exposure is to these types of chemicals is daily
