I mix the tfr in a wcw backpack and use wfp brush with fan jets to apply.  When finished flush through with pure and the backpack is fine to use for window cleaning.

I use a 5 litre type sprayer on my shoulder but i extended the spray hose and have the spray wand on the end of a harris pole with enough extra hose to fully extend it which lets the spray fire nicely into nooks and crannies. Really helps with gutter brackets and the spray jet can be noticed knocking bits of crap out of decorative finials with grooves above connys. Because i can get it exactly where i want it i think i breathe less in which helps. ;D

Dazmond,

Just use your trolley mate.....mix up some tfr in an old container, apply through your trolley and then rinse off thoroughly with pure with the trolley.

That's what I have done and never had any problems.
