I have mildew job I need to do and I'm out of my normal stuff. I went to my local supply house to get something that would work. The guy leads me to the Benefect Decon 30. Goes to ring me up and says "$40."

I respond," ok but wait a minute, what's the dilution ratio?" He didn't know.

So after reading the gallon jug, turns out it was 1 gallon RTU! What a rip off. Me being the new and improved Damon and working on my Emotional EQ, I immediately blurp out, "This is a complete ripoff! Just because it's Covid season you guys are trying to extort me!"

I then went back out to the shelf to look for something else. That's when I found the Dri Eaz Milgo Plus for $49. I grabbed the bottle and as I read the label of 2-oz per gallon, I heard the angels in heaven singing. I'm looking forward to using this stuff tomorrow. If it's good, I'll be buying a lot more.

No you wouldn’t.... you’d just buy a 2021 Corvette at price gouged rates, get bored and buy a Porsche 911 Turbo

Milgo is some good stuff. I have some harvard stuff on board currently but normally I’m a Microban milgo or harvard user

As for that Sumbich soap salesman!!! You can hear them a mile away saying, “let me show you what everyone else is using”. Fktard wanting to steal your hard earned money

There is cheap and then there is dumb. If you call using a quality Dri Eaz (Legend Brands) product and saving 6400%, then I'm an idiot.

one you have to use common sense, the other you have to use far more than common sense and open yourself up to liability
Did I hit a nerve or something? You seem to be a little sensitive about this Benefect stuff. Hell, if you like it, use it.

Here in Canuckistan Benefect is specified for use in floods etc by the insurance companies.
you can still use quats here but insurance companies like you to disclose, and then be prepared to justify

Soap does not fall in that category. It's been shown hundreds of times before that they sell the diluted ready to use product at full price, which is crooked

They know that we are needing dozens, if not hundreds of gallons of the product. So it should never be sold to us at "Ready to use" strength. Not only is it a waste of plastic...it's a waste of our money. A good supplier knows that

Anything sold as RTU in our industry is a rip off. We are professionals and should be able to buy a concentrated chem. Let the Home Depot housewives buy the RTU gallons.

Call me when you have a chance today Damon.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but perhaps some insight that will help you lower your blood pressure.

And no, I'm not interested in jumping into it here.

I'm cleaning the US Department of Forestry Federal building today. I'll try and call as I'm Zippering away.

My pressure is low. I'm in a state of Zen. I'm just doing my part for the post counts ;)

When I took my IICRC class on Odor they said you can never use the work Disenfect or Sanatize because you could get sued. Then I look on the bottle and it says Sanitize and Disinfect. Talk about confusing.
