Title: Virasol (or similar) on fascias
Post by: Steve Weatherley on July 28, 2020, 04:27:25 pm

I have been using virasol on fascias / gutter cleaning. It helps the clean but I am fining the run off is quite quick. Can somebody recommend an additive to act as a surfactant?

I normally use Screwfix No Nonsense Degreaser.  However,  today I used the new pad tool from Gardiners to do a facia that was real mucky.  It cut through the muck without the degreaser.  The customer was amazed at the difference.

I prefer to use cream cleaner rather than virosol, tfr etc on fsg, it has a grit to it and acts more like a polish remving minor marks and imperfections.

Just apply the the brush head.
