Title: Been Trying Screwfix PVC Window Cleaner
Post by: S.W. Window Cleaning on June 14, 2017, 05:18:44 pm
As title. I have quite a large plastic porch and all window frames etc to clean. Its all quite grubby. I tried the screwfix pvc cleaner which is quite good but would take a long time to do.  Is there anything easier? I have also No nonsence Heavy Duty Degreaser.
Is this any good for the job?  I used to use Virisol but never found that much good.
Thanks,
Steve

Never tried Cif.  That might help thanks.
Someone said to use 2K Fast Thinner. Anybody tried this?

try cif mate on really dirty UPVC cleans.works a treat. did one on monday.customer very happy with results. :)

squirt on brush or directly on sill/frame and scrub away followed by a good rinse.i think you ll be surprised how good it is at removing stubborn dirt on  greying sills.

they all take time so price well. ;)

Use the no nonsense degreaser, dilute 1 litre to 20 parts water, apply through backpack gently agitating with brush, leave for a few mins then wash off. Job done.
Cif is also very good though..

tfr20 is the fast acting you only need a soak time of 1 minit max ,if you use ubik2000 virosol ect you need 5 minits to let it dwell to work wich it does , some people are now using bleach in there spray guns wich works or a week hypo mix, benzblack wash is also very good on realy badly stained upvc  ,but its not cheep and it only has 3 month shelf life !

Do you dilute the tfr20?  If it gets on the glass is it hard to get off?
Cheers

somebody on here recently suggested using a biological washing powder, I've tried it now on two conservatories and it worked a treat. I just filled a bucket with the solution and used my brush to apply it then rinsed and scrubbed. Came up like new.
