I would like to know what you are using to clean the roofs, I have just been using wfp system but would like to know if there are more effective techniques to make the job better and possibly reduce working time. Any ideas would be gratefully received.
Thanks Gavin

Spray with a degreaser then wash using the customers tap water if possible, finish off by rinsing with pure if the glass
is clear.

Are you familiar with virosol, this is the stuff to use, there is others but my brain isn't working today and I can't even think, you can pick it up off eBay or source it locally from cleaning chemical supplier.
Very tired now need to go to sleep

I'm back to using cif cream, it's a much more effective cleaner iv found and easy to get hold of at almost any shop.
Flocked sill brush with fan jets and a squirt of cif on the brush is the daddy.

A little time whilst the suns out - yes all above "strong" charms get the dirt off quick but be warned it can dry too quick in strong sun so only spray a few panels at a time and clean. Only a small tip but can save a lot of time in the long run

I have been asked to clean a roof which they claim to be self cleaning.
Don't do any of this sort of work normally.the roof is really green.
I was under the impression you could not use Chems on them is this correct?
