Title: Fascia and soffits
Post by: Mike55 on October 21, 2009, 09:13:22 pm

Just picked up my first cleaning job on these.

I have seen CIF mentioned but some say causes scratches on the pvc.

Also Dr Power and TFR?  Where can I buy TFR and is this the right stuff for UPVC?

Thanks
Mike

hey fella !
 done a few of these myself  always try to keep the due date for these a bit open ended so i can slide them in on a rainy day (get somone on the bottom of your ladder),
i always find bucket of warm water , fairy liquid and a tesco microfiber cloth (£2 a pack, 2  in a pack blue ,green ,yellow or pink if your daring!!!) will shift most muck. but i always carry a bottle of fairy power spray (tescos £3 50ish) and small dustpan type brush for brackets and elbows  all this kit will last for ages and leave my job looking sparkly.
Good luck
Cheers Tom
