good job mate, i think you got your pricing about right there to be honest, its all down to how long it took you really.

Really nice job. Did you dilute the virosol and by how much?
Title: Re: 1st conny clean with viro-sol
Post by: tonycarr on June 05, 2014, 06:22:10 pm

Nice.
Pics like that look great on a website.
Pricing-there or thereabouts.

That's an excellent job. I have my first conservatory to do on Monday. Does it matter if you dilute virosol in pure or tap water?

Cheers,
Steve

Nice Job will nick a couple for my website when I get round to building it..
I only cleaned 2 connys up to now.
About the virosl mix.. someone on here advised me to use at 24 : 1 which I did and it cleaned well.

I would see what they say on here before you  make your mind up about 50:50 mix. there is a lad on here who does em regular if I can remember his name will post back.

50/50 ????
Sounds a bit strong to me ??
But never used virosol only TFR
Is virosol weaker ??
Title: Re: 1st conny clean with viro-sol
Post by: tonycarr on June 07, 2014, 10:00:39 am
Never used tfr.  Ratio suggests 1 part to 50/100 on general cleaning and 200 on light cleaning. So perhaps I did go ott  ;D

Morning Tony

Looks great mate. Where did you buy it as I can't find any local places that stock virosol and I've got a couple of roofs to this week? Always used TFR but I get a range of results. Wouldn't mind giving it a try. TFR always worries me a bit when they've got pets and manicured gardens!!

Hope family are all well

What a $hit hole. I would've charged danger money for that. £85 is a give away.

Came up well. Good job.

Good Price.

Good Job.

I may have asked for the £85 upfront though  :-X :-X ;D

Good price and good time that's just about spot on in my book for 1 man on the job, and looks a little challenging as well  :D

50/50 is a little strong but better that than too weak and spend extra time scrubbing

I use it at around 25% for conny's, SFG and cladding cleans

Top marks
