Hello!
I've been set up now for a couple of months, it's going fairly well but I'm having a era curing problem getting conservatory roofs completely clear of moss etc. it doesn't seem, no matter how hard or how often I put my brush over it, there's always more there. Is there a special magic tool to use? It's frustrating!

Non-caustic, diluted traffic film remover (TFR) followed by a thorough water rinse within a few minutes. That usually takes the worst off. Maybe use an old, manky brush except for the final finish. I save old brushes for stuff like that.

He's talking sense!

Try and use a flocked brush, and as said spray TFR on the roof, and scrub, re-apply, scrub, and then rise off.

TFR doesn'y help with moss. Practice and perseverance.

Thought you guys used virosol for stuff like this

Are you talking about the tiny little bits,that appear from no
Where?
-
very dirty roof with moss, sweep as much off as you can with a dry brush before you get anything wet. If it has annoying corners or overhangs with inaccessable to easily remove dirt or moss, plug in a hose pipe to an outside tap and give it a blast to flush it all out. Then spray tfr or whatever and brush and rinse with wfp.
-
brush any loose moss off with a dry brush
spray with virosol in a 5L pressure sprayer
leave for 5 mins then scrub and rinse long and hard!ideally with extension hose on customers outside tap as the flow is much stronger and its saves your pure for windows.
i use a stiff radius sill brush on a 55degree gooseneck.
job done.
