Title: How do you remove egg
Post by: DASERVICES on March 17, 2008, 07:30:07 pm
When to do a cons clean today which was full of dried eggs, scrubbed like mad with wfp which did make an impact but still residue. Will have to go back tomorrow to do another clean.

Is there any solution that will dislove it quickly and still use wfp, or is it the case of just keep on scrubbing.

Thanks

Doug

Hot soapy water if you can get it, loosens it up quicker  ;)

TFR, hot water and a good hard brush. If you've got one of them fly mesh scrims, then throw that over your brush to clean egg off or a couple of beer mats with a couple of strong elastic bands to keep it on your brush head.

another is white scouring pads the bnig ones, use as wayne said a rubber band to attach to brush and hot soapy water.

without it it will take you a very long time as it seems to be waterproof. (maybe I should use that on my uniform to stop getting wet legs. :-\

Use a big green scouring pad tied to your brush any old how to start with, seeing as it's a con roof it won't matter too much.

And then as Bruce Forsyth would say, "Keeeeep on scrubbing!" ;)

Ian, do you use a belt type tap for your WFP? Try one of them tap brackets that attach to the pole from Pure Freedom off of ebay. Won't get wet legs using them.

Some of the oldest and most famous paintings from 14th century onward  used paint that had egg white (albumen) as its base. The Mona Lisa for one.

This gives you some idea of how indestructable the blinking stuff is. You will never get it off with WFP once it has dried. On glass use a scraper or a scouring pad.

Hot water works a treat, but get the worst of it off with a scraper (Unless its on the plastic roof,.. NEVER use a scraper on plastic!) and a scrubbing pad.

Nightmare, I had a house to do once that teenagers had bombarded with eggs a few months earlier. It took me ages, and the only way I could find to shift it was with a scraper!

As already said above TFR softens it up then you should be able to remove it ok.

I would pressure wash it off instead of WFP as eggs stink when you got to remove them.

Just don't use a really high power presure washer as the conservatory will leak like a sieve.
