Hi I have a whole house upvc clean coming up and was wondering if TFR really makes that much of a difference?
I have done these before wfp and they have come up ok, however this one is virtually black :o will i save myself a lot of scrubbing, time and aching if I use TFR?
Also can you buy it at B&Q or HOMEBASE or somewhere?
Thanks chaps.

Go to an auto factor place, you'll get it cheaper than at any of the window cleaning websites.
Yes, use it, but prepared, dib dib dib, for lots of suds.

To be honest I don't find tfr any better than a good strong mix of washing up liquid.

mange tu rodders.

also do you just spray on leave 20 mins then get scubbing with pure?
I dont want gallons of this stuff sitting around will 5 litres be enough for a 3 bed detatched?

I was doing soffits and gutters with just water, for ages. Have now tried tfr, and won't be looking back. I buy 5ltr tubs of concentrate and that has been doing 3-4 houses.
Tfr is deffinatly the stuff to use. I am knocking up a long reach sprayer as well and will show pics if I come up with a decent design

Rinse it off quick, within 5 mins or you'll be sorry.

TFR or similar WILL make a difference to the actual clean aswell as the time it takes.
I dont use TFR, but a product called VIRO-SOL. i mix this in a 25L container 1 part virosol, 23 part water & a bottle of cheap fairy.
When i first started out i use to just wfp... then i discovered virosol, came up with a great mix and i never looked back.

Thanks chaps, well im at least going to try it. gonna use the backpack to apply it (flush after obviously) and put an old brush on to SL2 I reckon this is the weapon of choice as im sure it will be a killer on the arms. gonna go to motor supply shop round the corner in a bit to see if they have anything suitable. thanks again, Dan.

so thats 1 liter tft 1 liter of fairy 23 liters of normal water mix together and spray
on all the pvc first let soak for 10 mins ? then start wfpin ?
someone said rinse it off quick or you will be sorry?
how much would you charge for a pvc clean semi detached house 2 bays up 1 bay down (front only)will it remove all old black streaks that the wfp cant?
