Post by: dmlservices on April 18, 2010, 04:41:10 pm
hi
just ordered 25 ltrs deepclean trf, non caustic, to make cleaning green conny roofs, and fascia easier, any body using this with good results, it can be diluted upto 100:1 , what rates do you use.

dont know , but can be dilluted upto 100:1, so need to experiment with dillution,
i would imagine that i would get quite a few conny roofs and fascia out of 25ltrs,and if it makes job easier and quicker then i will earn more ;)

There's a good thread about this here that might help you out, with pics and dilution rates: http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=83549.0

sugar soap if trading them

sugar soap is good for upvc window frames as well,

and great for inside work if you have windows with nicotine on them it just eats it away,

when i do trad work i add a few drops into my cleaning solution it cuts through anything!

what i mean is are there any streaks? do you have to detail more? i have a few customers that i do inside and they smoke, as you well know there murder to clean normally

No streaks no detaling it`s what sugar soap was made for i use it all the time.



Sugar soap is a cleaning material, commonly composed of sodium carbonate, sodium phosphate, the solution is alkaline

keeps the frames clean and windows sparkling,

try a few drops till you get the right amount that you are happy with cuts through nicotine with ease!

i first started using it when i was cleaning windows at a local pub the decorator was using it to clean of nicotine of the walls and it just removes it with ease!

Use the sugar soap for the insides and for out side if you are doing trad i use a mixture of a few drops of washing up liquid and a few drops of cif floor cleaner,

Cif floor cleaner as it leaves no residue and leaves a brillant shine,

I use that solution to clean trad and is useful for when going over to wfp as i have said leaves no residue!

Try it for a day

james, im wfp outside now mate, picking up more an more internal cleans though so its always nice to hear a new trick. cheers mate
Title: Re: deep clean tfr
Post by: james44 on April 19, 2010, 09:42:56 pm
ok ste m

In that case i use the cif floor cleaner to do first cleans using just tap water and rinse using pure water,

Perfect first time every time no spotting or runs! depending on the state of the frames you will get to know how much to dillute! the floor cleaner

I find this method to be quicker on first cleans as the cif cuts through the stubborn dirt and cleans the frames very well!
