Yes, 1 to 5 depending on the strength you want.

I think the instructions are for it to be mixed as a percentage, so if you require 5 litres of chemical to spray onto the gutters then at 5% you need to add 250 ml of Ecover to 5 litres of water.

Anyway, heres my writeup

Post by: Oakley Windows on August 22, 2008, 10:33:14 pm: Thought Id give a quick rply on this stuff.

I used it today on a conservatory roof (glass panels, finials and bars)

The job wasnt minging, but the whole lot got sprayed with my Harris pole sprayer head attachment. Left for 5 minutes. Rinsed and brushed off with supalite brush. Came up looking
brand new. Glass was gleaming.

Custy was very pleased, looked grand and thats from someone who like to do a good job.

Post by: Oakley Windows on August 23, 2008, 03:24:37 pm: No, TFR is what you need for that.

Ive been thinking about mixing the 2 to get the best of both worlds, but think TFR needs a bit more attention to detail than the Truck Wash (in other words Truck Wash works well, quickly and deals with muck using a quick brush over whilst TFR needs a bit of elbow grease)

Post by: jeff1 on August 23, 2008, 06:39:49 pm: You won't need elbow grease with ecover, have a look at some grey guttering I did, its on my web-site (link on the left) it shows how dirty it was and how clean it came up with just a quick spray of ecover, no need to use loads of the stuff.
