Since going WFP a lot of my customers want me to clean gutters , conservs etc, Will i need to use a different back pack when i use some kind of solution cleaning the gutters etc or will my current back pack flush clean to clean windows with again , any help would be much appreciated, cheers Ted

Gutters and soffits are fine with pure water, for conservatory roofs, get a small garden sprayer that you pre treat the roof with, virosol is excellent for conny roofs, that way you don't need to put anything in your back pack.

Hehe,
I was going to ask the same question....
So, if the gutters need more than pure water to clean them as they are completely minging, can we put virosol in our backpack to reach the dizzy height of a gutter or do we need to use a separate backpack and keep one just for pure h2o.
Cheers, Gaz

Get a pump up garden sprayer, attach it to the top of your pole, and use this to pretreat the areas you want to clean.

We have used my son's backpack to do an initial wash with Virosol. Once that was put on then we flushed the backpack out with pure water and started washing as normal - no problems.
I have a hand pump sprayer by Hozelok that I use to presoak a conservatory roof which attaches to an old Unger Ali pole. Then wash and rinse with pure.

TFR is used in a high pressure washer/steam cleaners in the motor trade

excellent i have a couple of conny roofs coming up, going to use the backpack to apply the stuff and the van to scrub and rince with hot :-)

i use a soap dispenser to put my cleaning fluid in, the stuff gardiners sells just washes out of the pole hose no need to put any in your backpack

I always use a backpack with tap water/virosol mix,for upvc cleans.
I also have another brush i use for such cleans.
Flush pole out with pure for about 1 minute after and bobs your uncle

Forgot to mention, the backpack i use is a spare one, its always used for upvc cleans, so i havnt got to keep de contaminating it
