How do you get ivy off upvc?

Get the customer to cut the ivy. Then they wait a month and peel the (now dead) ivy. Then you keep washing the remains of the roots every time you go. In six months it'll have gone through a combination of rotting and washing.

to get the best results
cut stem on the bit you want to remove
8 to 12 days later gently pull off
