And if you try to hose it in it will kill pretty much anything... grass, plants etc... probably not weeds though... they seem to thrive on stuff that kills everything else.

Yup it does make a hell of a mess and it does use a lot of baking soda. I tried to clean my engine cases with it, whilst it did work to a degree it was very slow and wasted a lot of soda. But I do disagree with you on it killing grass etc. It just washes away with water and it doesn't kill us humans in cooking so why would it kill grass?

Probably down to concentration Mike.

Dog wee contains ammonia which is the basis of most nitrogen fertilisers. However, when applied in the concentration from little Fido, kills the grass.

I know…

Maybe get Fido to pee on stubborn dirt!

I spent mths with the iwon’t a media blaster, did all the research only to find out the size of the compressor needed would have to be on an industrial scale, 200/250 ltr just don’t cut it apparently.

Seamus:
Wish I could work that fast.  ;D
Bought a bench top cabinet a good few years ago. Works pretty well on bike parts. Not tried carbs cos my media is a bit too fierce. May give some soda a try.
At least it is contained.  ::)
