After Avo's conservatory clean pictures, I was wondering what everyone thinks works best?
I only ever use TFR but might have a change depending on what everyone thinks...
-
I would like some advice as to what cleaning chemical is best for conservatory roofs.
I only use pure water....but ity hard work and difficult to get results like Avo showed.
Thanks
David

Just tap water, ive been using it for 8 years, no need to add anything other than a brush :)

Virosol changed my roof cleaning and there's no doubt thats the boy for me...
someone on this forum recommended it 18 months ago ( bobplum ) maybe and never stopped using it since, i do sometimes give g101 ago but still feel virosol has the edge for me..
I still find each roof hard going it takes a lot out me for the rest of the days work ;D "whimp" I no..
-
the truth is if you use cold wfp using virosol or something similar like tfr speeds the jobs up esp if its really dirty.
virosol is cheap as chips and lasts ages.
-
How much do you dilute the Virosol. Thanks.

dd i just put a glug of it in a 5L pressure sprayer then fill it up with water.you dont need much.
you can use it neat on your brush as well if you want.
i bought four 5 litre tubs of it for around £26 last year.still got loads left.should last me a few years yet!! ;D ;D
-
Do you spray it on using the lance from the pressure sprayer or somehow connect it to your pole and do it that way? Thanks.
-
i spray it on with the lance dd.it squirts high at full pressure!! ;D ;D ;D
-
Cheers Daz. Have a good day. :)

Ctfr all the way, I get it from Suffolk Chemicals in Hadleigh, about 35 quid for 25 litres, lasts ages, water down, but not to the 1:1000 suggested I tend to do anything from 1:30 to 1 to 100 eats through grime wonderfully.
Did a sloping roof with just pure the other day. Should of been 15 minutes with Ctfr, took an hour with just pure water! Would of been quicker to come home to get the sprayer!

What is the 'C' in Ctfr?
I used TFR on a fascia soffit gutter clean today-looked cracking!
-
I've just had some G101 off the Rep and he said beware the dye might stain. He was on about the yellow almost dayglo dye. He said if I dilute it and leave in the sunlight then it should go away.
It's left me wondering about the TFR I've just bought from by the Villa ground £16.00 for 20/25L ?
That too has got a bright yellow dye in it.
Has anyone else had a problem with a dye in detergents staining UPVC ?
Or do you pre soak with water first, before applying your preferred cleaner ?

been using g101 12 months needs to be diluted and spray work small areas at a time ( 1 panel on connie roof ) direct sunlight best not let it bake on ....not had any problems

pure hot water for me, works a treat each time i use it.
