I'm going to use acid to clean my two 50 X 50 picture windows in the living room. (exterior) 31.45 strength Muriatic Acid.
My local hardware guy told me that I should use full strength and apply with a throw away paint brush.
Heavy mineral deposits obscure view-CLR products are minimally effective and removed about 20% of deposits last year.
I know about ventilation and mixing issues as I used it as a kid in school.
*Directly* below the window is painted stucco-I'm concerned about any drip damage.
Can/should I use old rags to remove the excess acid/wait till it dries or.....?
I have some one-use latex gloves. Can I use them or will it eat right thru them?
Another concern is wasshing the acid away and excess getting into plants and palm tree. I was thing about sprinkling some baking soda on the ground as a safe guard-just in case.
I have safety glasses I use with tile/mosiacs.
any suggestions helpful...
