Got a conny roof to do week on Monday.
Pretty bad with green and black grime really needs a good scrub etc.
was thinking of buying Viro-sol never used it before.. or whats better for this type of cleaning?
Thanks Dave

Have you read R. C. Property's post, which was only last week? Worth looking at, as he was promoting using one cleaner called Selden Maxima. He also gives his Web site address coz he's selling it. Plus photos of a job recently done using it.

Not sure if thats any good for moss and green algy etc.
-
Moss and green algae will come off with just pure most of the chemicals aid in speedier removal but most don't touch ground in grime you need a restorer/ t- cut/ cif for this
Tfr viro- sol g101 u- bik will be ok - just don't let it dry on the glass unless diluted well

G101 , its an Autosmart product. Just google G101. I swear by it. Not tried virosol. G101 is the stuff someone from here marketed as magica one go go or something like that, he done some vids of it working too. Its great stuff, i swear by it.

Thanks. i may give g101 ago.
I know just pure water would remove it but it takes forever and lots lots of effort on your arms! i cant be doing with it in this heat.. done one Wednesday wasn't half as bad neally killed me lol with sun banking down.
Just want something to lift it slightly so it makes it a little faster or easier on the body.

In this weather and heat, it will dry seriously fast.
Virosol isn't so bad to get off if it dries out but G 101, StrongArm, (don't know about Ubik) etc, are caustic hard surface cleaners and are not just hard to remove if they dry on the surface on a cool or cloudy day , but in hot weather, they are hell to remove.

This is the reason I moved from Ubik to Virosol. No need to rush anymore because with Virosol it doesn't matter if it dries.

fairy liquid the best

Ive used ubik before didn't think much of it at all really unless i diluted it too much.
Thought ubik and viro-sol where near the same ?

I did a conny roof yesterday morning in baking hot sun.
Just used pure water and it came up really well.

Harpic does the job ... or any other toilet cleaner for that matter ... cillet bang, toilet duck ... if it can remove what's in the toilet it can remove algae and grime off a conservatory roof.

I have used Flash floor cleaner before for doing a really really dirty gutter & fascia clean.
Worked a treat.
But usually I just use a washing up liquid.
I don't know why people always go on about virosol and all that because I've never used it.
Don't really see the need as if I do ever use a chemical I just use whatever is in the kitchen cupboard under the sink. ;D
