ive read that a few people use this on f s gutter cleans by just squirting it on the brush, does it rinse off easily & is it safe for cons & window frames where it will get on the glass as well ?

thats what i thought but its on here & said to be pretty good, but i remember it in its old form of vim which was hellish rough
-
I use it , along with other stuff
TFR
Virosol
Ubik 2000
-
I have never used it on fascias but it brings up dirty upvc windows very well with a magic sponge or try a Brillo pad

Hi simonr, putting jif/cif cream cleanser or vim powder on your brush is a complete waste of time for deep cleaning upvc or pvc surfaces, the only way to deep clean these surfaces properly is to use a specific (upvc/pvc deep cleansing paste ) (to carry out these deep cleaning tasks properly) and apply it manually with a non-scratch scouring pad, magic eraser pad, or microfiber cleaning cloth to achieve required results.

I use it on gutters if there is a stain that's a bit hard to come off use with microfiber cloth never anything abrasive . Keep some in van especially this time of year when some muppet has had BBQ to close to window and got fat on glass, apply to glass on cloth rub in then clean window as normal
-
ok cheers lads, ive understood it wrong i thought you could put it on your brush, virosol it is then
-
Cannot see why you cannot squirt onto brush if you want
-
I do sometimes - froths up nicely when you turn the water back on.

Sorry tadgh but you always chime in on these type of threads and write certain products off, yet plenty of guys here have used cif, and continue to use cif with great results, including myself.

I nearly replied to this earlier but couldn't be arsed. I completely agree with Chris though.
I use the cheapest cream cleaners I can source and they all work brilliantly to get the whites like new again.
-
yeah i use it too.ive always got a bottle in the van.great for getting them stubborn stains off UPVC frames/sills(rust/leaf marks etc)when doing a full UPVC clean.i just put a bit on a sponge scourer for lower frames and sills.ive also got "sticky stuff remover" from B &Q for sellotape marks etc
for f/s/g i use virosol in a backpack.

Everyone has their preferences . I advise everyone to try various products .
I have used
CIF
TFR
UBIK2000 and now ive just ordered some more Virosol as this seems good on the sample I recemtky tried .
But CIF will always be in my Van
-
ordered virosol now so i think i'll do one side of the job with that n get my son to use cif on the other n see what happens ;D
-
I usually spray TFR along the gutters first , then add CIF to the brush and clean .
Will use Virosol from next week once delivered

i have it in my van, sometimes i use it on first cleans, squirt it on the bottom window sills and dab your brush in to it brings up windows, plastic great, just needs a good rinse
