I had some Soileze protector mixed up in a pump up sprayer. This particular batch had sat there mixed for about 3 weeks. I used it the other day in a residence and the odor was horrible. I have used a lot of Soileze and this has never happened.

Sat mixed too long in a hot van? What do you think?

Diluted chemicals, over an extended period of time,
plus heat, is a recipe for spoiled chems.

The temperatures here in Florida are brutal right now (as you know Joe). Just saw the car thermometer said 97 YIKES! If the ambient temp is 97, can you imagine how hot the back of a parked van can get? BTW What's it gonna be in July and August?

At any rate, heat can foul up any chemicals. Fluoro-chemicals, as wel as peroxide based products, are especially sensitive to being cooked. So try not to leave mixed chems in a HOT vehicle if you can help it.

The guys up north have to worry about their stuff freezing all winter long. I guess this is payback time for the Florida boys when our juice starts getting cooked in the summer.

Joe-

What did you mix the Soileze with? I thought it came RTU?

I've never had a problem with any of Excellent-Supply products going off in the heat.

Mind you, mixed batches don't last long.

I mean they don't last long in my van, they get used pretty quick.

Most notable of other products from memory include the old 3M Scotchgard FX3860

I still have the old manual dated 31st December 1996, which states that the diluted mix is stable for six months provided the solution is kept in a container with lid securely in place.

It did not give a thaw/freeze stable indication nor any heat related incidents.

I could never carry the product in my van unless I was going to a job.
, then it would be used, and returned to my cool room at home.

I imagine my climate is very similar to Florida's even though we are thousands of miles apart,

Being up top down under, would also make a difference in that the drum would always be upside down in comparison to you Floridians

Whatever, we are now heading into winter where very soon we will be getting down to 50f, which is to dang cold for this young bloke.

Ooroo,

I didn't mix it with anything. Don't even know why I said I did. Been too busy to think straight. But anyway, it did go bad sitting in my pump up sprayer. A very foul odor.
