Got some virosol delivered today having seen people recommending it on here for cleaning con roofs and f/s/g. On the bottle it doesn't mention using it for that it seems to be mainly for use on engines and pavements etc. just wanted to check I've got the right stuff ?

Somewhere in the blurb or COSHH sheet it mentions safe to use on rigid plastics and UPVC - does not state window frames and conservatories specifically

It shifts green stuff. Dilute it though. Not so good on tiger stripes. Magic sponge with diluted Virosol or magic sponge and a cream cleaner will shift the stripes, means going up a ladder sometimes though. Virosol is very good on polycarb conny roofs!

Great thanks in case anyone else is wondering this is helpful

Says it's not hazardous or classified and is biodegradable so I guess it's not going to do any damage to com roofs or f/s/g

Yeah, it's good stuff. You can apply it neat straight onto your brush then apply to surfaces to be cleaned or dilute and use in a sprayer. Upto you and whatever you think would be best for the job in hand. Not a nasty substance to deal with either.
-
If I apply it straight to the brush then clean roofs fascias etc. is it best to use a different brush for the windows straight after or doesn't it matter?
-
Some say it would be good to use a different brush. But if you are applying and scrubbing then rinsing, after a good rinse off then brush is ready to use on glass for final wash. I've experimented with this and had no problem using the same brush. If I was doing a conny roof only,for example, I would swap my brush to do the rest of sides and glass. But if it's a full conny job, and sides need virosol , I just keep going with same brush. As long as you've given it a good rinsing it should be ok. :D

Grey dirty lines that are hard to shift.

be careful with it though.itll irritate your eyes and skin.wear gloves and sunglasses.its easy for it to spray back into your eyes with the slightest wind if spraying with a pressure sprayer on a roof etc.
