[Closed] Muc-Off (and the like) and lawns?

An area of my lawn has died. There are many possible reasons for this but one thing is that that area gets the run-off when I wash bikes. I know the stuff is caustic.

Anyone else had problems with bike cleaners killing their lawn?

This has happened to me with degreasers, so I just did it on the drive instead. ๐Ÿ™‚

finds something mildly acidic and neutralises itself?

I never wash bikes with soapy/muck-offy liquids, only water and brushes.

PS I live in a very environmentally unfriendly country, agressively unfriendly.

Lawns are fine but one word of warning, don't pour directly into Hedgehog's eyes it really pisses them off, much less so than badgers obviously

My herbs didnt like it much - I have replanted and moved the pot away from the bike wash area, plus making risottos that taste like muc off isn't that appealing.
