as it says how do you get rid of extreme green mank on conny roofs and window ledges??? a mate of mine said i cud pracitse on his place so i said id do it but he didnt tell me it was mega green and not even a bristled brush and some elbow greese wud move it? any ideas what i can put on it to lift this green mank? :-[
-
If the green is on Upvc then a scrub with pure would take it off pretty quickly - TFR would really move it off
quick.
if wooden frames you def need TFR and a really good scrub - but if the green has penetrated through varnish and paint there will always be some residue left in the wood grain

Bleach,...

id say the worst bit was his plastic conny roof, i got it from a dark green to a light green colour but thats scrubbing for ages, i cant get on my hands and knees coz if i cud it would be easier than brushing it with a pole, any chemicals i can spray on and then wipe off, was going to use bleech but he complained and said window cleaners dont use bleech do it propper
-
Never needed bleach myself and not had a problem with a quick squirt of TFR

his conny aint ever been cleaned all the years hes lived there and thats about 9 yrs i think. :-\ its in patches where i cant get it off, would a pressure washer work?? if so ill invest in one i spose
-
Try Soda crystals diluted in warm water and CIF on brush and scrub :P
-
i would not pressure wash it as it could damage the seal and leak in water
-
Tell him to get stuffed and do it himself and if you come across a proper customer with one like this quote at least 3 times what you would like,then buy some master cleaner,same as tfr but better.
Do not clean a conservatory with a pressure washer, the seals generally cant take it.
I want to get round there and sort this bloke out,"do it proper",i would have ripped his head off.
-
Right,so at least 9 years covered in crap,ageing surface gone porous pvc that has absorbed the stain and this bloke thinks a window cleaner can remedy it. I`m just getting angrier. Of course i could sort it at least as well as anyone else,sounds like Farecla G3 paste applied to the pvc by hand so you have to arrange excellent access,this is beyond mere mortal window cleaning and this mate of yours needs that drumming into his skull.
-
You get it all the time,they have not been cleaned for years and they think you can get it looking like new for nothing.I think your mate is taking you for a proper ride ::)

use a PULEX MICROTIGER sleeve . this has a row of red aggresive stripes next to white water holding stripes. its a great sleeve ,excellent scrubber but wont scratch either . i use a 10" on a swivel mop fixed on a pole . 10" because i can really apply max force downwards to the scrub

when i saw the title i thought you were on about some sick man utd fan ???

Are we talking about 'algue' or is whats left 'lichen' (excuse spelling)
if its lichen then you have a serious problem with getting it off.
