When responding to spill clean ups for solid waste companies you'll encounter mostly 4 different types of spills. Hydraulic oil, hydraulic fluid, paint and garbage juice.
There are other types of spills that are more rare you may encounter. But these are the 4 we encounter on a regular basis.
Hydraulic oil is the nasty stuff that stains the concrete and doesn't come out.
Hydraulic fluid is similar to oil and can permanently stain the concrete if it is not removed within the first few hours of it spilling.
Paint is a category that is very broad and has mixed hurdles we encounter when cleaning.
Garbage juice is going to be similar to hydraulic fluid as far as difficulty removing. It has a strong odor. We consider it mandatory to clean with hot water for sanitary purposes.
In League City, we clean these oil spills on a regular basis. We began this oil spill response service in 2016 when tow truck services tow a vehicle involved in a collision. Sometimes a tow truck will be in a parking lot with a towed vehicle that is leaking fluid. The fluid had to be cleaned from the parking lot and we would clean the spills. In 2018 we began offering this service for solid waste companies and have been cleaning spills involved with the industry ever since.
Your spill response guide guide for most spills, we recommend our Heavy Duty Degreaser.
Our Lemon Surfactant is used as a rinse for some garbage juice jobs, just to help with the smell.
Paint removal, we'd recommend our graffiti removal product or Taginator and/or a turbo nozzle from WashMart.com
