NeutraPods are an SH neutralizer that deactivate the sodium hypochlorite left behind after a soft wash, house wash, or roof wash. The active is sodium thiosulfate with an infused surfactant, so it reacts with bleach runoff and clings to the surfaces you're protecting. Ships dry as pods or bucket powder. You're not paying to ship water.
Key Features
-
Sodium thiosulfate active: Reduces residual SH to plain salt and sodium sulfate. No chlorine or chloramine gas, unlike bleach mixed with acid or ammonia.
-
Ships dry: Powder and pods carry no water weight, so freight runs cheaper than liquid neutralizers.
-
Drop-in pods: Each pod holds about 8 oz and dissolves fully. Toss one in a gutter or downspout and there's nothing to fish back out.
-
Surfactant infused: Roughly 10% anionic surfactant lowers surface tension so the neutralizer penetrates and holds instead of running straight off.
-
Sized for the job: 6-pack of pods for gutters and one-offs, 6 lb bucket for up to 3,000 gallons of solution, 40 lb bucket for up to 20,000 gallons on high-volume routes.
-
Neutralizes salt too: Handles road salt and salt residue on windows, roofs, plants, and equipment, not just SH.

What's Included
-
6-pack: Six water-soluble pods, ~8 oz each.
-
6 lb bucket: Bulk powder plus a measuring scoop.
-
40 lb bucket: Bulk powder plus a measuring scoop, for high-volume work.
Apply with an X-Jet M5, a 12V pump, or a gas soft wash pump after you've rinsed the system to water only. Drop pods straight into gutters and downspouts, or premix powder in a batch tank as a concentrate.
Don't add it to your SH supply tank. It neutralizes bleach before it can clean. Keep it away from acidic cleaners and rust removers too, since acid accelerates breakdown and can cause off-gassing.
How It Works
NeutraPods work through a redox reaction. The sodium thiosulfate reduces reactive hypochlorite to benign salts and gets oxidized to sulfate itself. What's left is ordinary table salt and sodium sulfate, and the reaction pulls the highly alkaline SH back toward neutral. The infused surfactant lowers surface tension so the neutralizer penetrates and clings instead of sheeting off.
It's a post-treatment, never an in-tank additive. Rinse your delivery system to water only, then apply neutralizer to runoff, gutters, and sensitive plants or surfaces after the wash. Pods get tossed where you need them and dissolve completely. Bucket powder gets scooped into water as a concentrate on demand.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you add neutralizer to the SH tank?
No. Keep it in a separate container away from your SH. Adding it to the tank neutralizes the bleach before it ever hits the surface, so your mix stops cleaning. Rinse the system to water first, then apply neutralizer to runoff and sensitive areas.
How many pods do I need per job?
Figure about one pod per 50 gallons of solution at 2% SH, and add a pod for every additional 2% SH. There's no real penalty for using a little extra when you're protecting sensitive vegetation, so err on the heavy side around plants.
How long does mixed solution stay effective?
Around 5 days if it's sealed and kept out of the sun. Heat kills it fast. A jug sitting in a hot truck bed can drop off inside 1 to 2 days, so mix what you'll use and store the rest cool and dark.
