i never practice on a customers property unless their is no other way, and im not sure why he wants to use hydrofloric and i am aware that it is dangerous to use and be around, but back to the question has anyone ever used the anti slip acid products and with what results, was it profitable or not worth the time this property has 11,000 sq ft of tile to do so i am interested in feed back on anyone that has used these products, and we always do our homework and testing before we start any new service but just starting the ball rolling on informing myself.

thx

Shane,

 

I would stay away from the Hydrofluoric  acids, these are dangerous chemicals and if this get on your shin it will burn ,  but even more it can and will attack your bones. If you use it be sure to protect yourself. There are products on the market that are not hydrofluoric. Stonecare Central has one and Grout perfect has one both are much safer than the Hydrofluoric. If you decide to use it make sure you have full protection for yourself and your technicians and if there is ANY stainless steel in the home you MUST protect it.
