Does it wash off? I have a conservatory inside to do that looks a little stained - what's best to clean it off?
No guesses please I want the real thing.
-
Honestly I wouldn't bother. You'll get it on your gear and be smelling it and feeling sticky for weeks afterwards. I took a similar job on once, never again.

Upvc solvent cleaner Dave, gets anything off
-
Washes off with a cloth and water with plenty of washing up liquid in it. You will end up throwing the cloth away, though, as it'll take on the smell.
If you're a non-smoker, best wear gloves as your hands will stink for a day or two.

I used to do some specialist cleaning back in the day.
TBH the best mixture i ever used was...........................
ecover lemon and pure water! Wet cloth and dry cloth.
Wear latex gloves!
ALSO Virosol LOVES eating the nasty stuff as well :)
-
as said wear gloves . nicotine in a watery mix will seep into your skin like a knife thru butter ,feel ill afterwards
-
Sugar soap is supposed to be good, and use a big roll of paper towel ( and a gas mask ) !
-
TFR is good also.
Wear gloves though.
Perhaps the best advice (IMHO) whatever price you've thought of: double it and round it up.
It's a crappy minging job and you might aswell throw your scrims/cloths away after cleaning them.
-
Hi Dave, we have a natural cleaning/polishing paste which will remove any ingrained soils from upvc frames and its very safe and effective on nicotine stains (no gloves required) just use a damp microfiber cloth apply the paste to clean the frames and bring them back spotless, if its of benefit bang me an email and I will send you on the info, Regards Tadgh.

Quite easy really - I work for a living. So rather than sit on my arse for ten days a month, i tend to go out and provide for my family.

Citrusol bites through it, no problem. Straight back to white.

concentrated sugar soap liquid on a damp cloth,a wipe and a rub and away you go! its what they used on pub ceilings before the smoking ban.you can buy it at wickes in litre bottles but it may be cheaper elsewhere.Hope that helps.
