What is muriatic acid and how dangerous is it?
Muriatic acid is a highly reactive liquid acid, and one of the most dangerous chemicals you can buy for home use. It is an industrial-strength solution of hydrogen chloride gas dissolved in water, also known as hydrochloric acid. Yep, muriatic acid is "super stomach acid"! 

With the exception of some plastics, muriatic acid can damage most anything it touches, including clothing, metal, and skin! It emits a suffocating odor that can quickly burn the lining of the nose, throat and even the lungs.

Typical home uses include heavy-duty masonry cleaning, preparation of masonry for painting or sealing, removal of efflorescence or mineral deposits and pH reduction in swimming pools.  Its reactive power makes it the chemical of choice for some types of masonry cleaning.

Muriatic acid is sold in a standardized concentration of 31.45% acid and 68.55% inert ingredients, primarily water.  This is the concentration you are going to find in your local hardware store.  Our mixing suggestions are based on this concentration... if the muriatic acid you purchase is stronger, adjust the dilution proportions for the job accordingly.

A short anecdote... A hardware store in my area stopped storing muriatic acid. Over a period of years, gaseous seepage from the old containers had begun to dissolve the metal shelving it was stored upon, as well as the metal containers of other products nearby!

Buy it, dilute it and use a scrub brush with a long handle and then wash it away and you should be fine.

Don't forget to close all the doors and windows...and breathe deeply. It's a great rush.

on my ride home from work today..36 miles...I saw 7 brand new accidents, two of them serious.  One SUV on it's roof, another a big pickup Tee'd into a jersey barrier.

watch a car slide from the left lane across three lanes, spinning 180 degrees so when he came to rest he was facing south instead of north, in the slow lane instead of the fast lane...it was an SUV going too fast, of course.  luckily no contact was made by anyone on that one

farging dangerous road conditions

you go gary.

i saw some great accidents too Dio.  farging horrible ice everywhere

[Diomedes]

I just love to see idiots in SUVs all cracked up in foul weather...they think they're invincible and they drive like it...iceholes

real simple, folks.  when it's snowing icing sleeting etc....slow down, increase following distance, don't brake accelerate or turn suddenly....you don't have to grow up in New England to know this shtein.

also...one thing I've forgotten about this area is that people around here think you gotta put your hazard lights on if you're driving in bad weather...how this idea got into people's heads, I don't know.  we don't do this in New England or New York...

[Seabiscuit36]

i drive a car and drive almost the same as i do when its normal weather with the exception of taking my foot off the accelerator on turns, and leaving extra braking room

[Sgt PSN]

The only time I ever put my hazards on while driving is if it's extremely heavy rain and I'm going at a cautious speed while others in their SUVs insist on travelling at unsafe speeds.
