Post by: Londoner on May 30, 2011, 10:05:18 am: I will be honest, a strong mix of washing up liquid is just as good for most conservatory roofs. I did one a week or so back for a new customer that has just moved in and the roof was thick green. Sprayed plenty on, gave it a really good soak and the stuff was coming off by itself.

I have got tfr but don't really use it much.

I have an old pole with a vikan sill brush plumbed up so it can be connected to a garden hose and I use loads and loads of mains water. That really is my conservatory roof secret weapon. You need plenty of water to wash down all the bits off the roof.

Where are you? I have probably got an old pole in my garage you can have. I always keep them "just in case" but just in case doesn't happen.

Post by: John Walker on May 30, 2011, 12:43:50 pm: Fenwicks Caravan Cleaner works a treat too.

Biggest advantage is that Halfords sell it so you can buy it straight away and only need to buy small quantities if you don't need a lot.
