Title: Fly poo
Post by: Carl2009 on November 19, 2012, 08:12:26 pm: Oh yes, I hate it. Has anyone found anything that will shift it instantly that I can carry in a hand sprayer?

I'm in rural Wales and do a lot of dairy farms. With the inevitable poo that comes with dairy farm there are plenty of flies. Their poo on windows and white uPVC frames is difficult if not impossible to get off even reasonably quickly, even with a scourer and TFR. And there's a lot off it.

So, has anyone got anything they have used sucessfully?

I sometimes use my TFR all round first to loosen it (not that it works, but I live in hope) and often in summer the first window has tried before I start to clean.

Nope, all good.

G101 probably the best but much more expensive. Ubik probably second and doesn't need to be that strong.
