That said if you could convince them that your method of cleaning was the best, prevented algae regrowth etc for the longest period of time etc etc. And load the price to drop close then Im sure that some of those tightwads would part with over £70 an hour to get their conservatory cleaned.

Post by: Tim Rose on January 02, 2008, 09:04:44 pm: Some hideous buildigns there, but that aside.... yes they are called finials, I would think that the best way to do them was with a toothbrush closeup, failing that soak in chemicals and rinse?

Post by: mick hay on January 02, 2008, 09:09:19 pm: Just use a pole with brush at an angle so its facing onto the finials, and genlty aggitate, thats all i do. Just dont be heavy handed, or u will need a cons ladder to put em back up.. :-\
