Erith, I converted my pole I got with my pure freedom DIY unit and turned it onto a high reach scraper, works a treat

I have found that using an extension pole such as a Harris pole with and Unger 6inch scraper, or like works well.
Total cost around £25.00

Hi

I use a couple of things for hard to remove bird crap and eggs, oil flo is perfect, the same as MDR or even T-Cut, I also use the gooseneck carbon on my poles and on one side I have attached a cleaning pad, I soak this with whatever chemical I am going to use, apply to the stain and agitate, then I spin the pole around and rinse off.

I've got one of those green flexi clamps (I think that's what they're called) on the end of a harris pole. It clamps two sponge scouring pads side by side.

I give the bird mess a good soaking with pure water, then spray the pad with TFR usually and scrub off the mess.

I use astonish upvc creme (which is like CIF) for marks on the UPVC.

Most of the time the edge of the brush does the job on it's own.


Dave,


Boshravie will be along shortly to tell you about a product that will remove all bird poo immediately, in a five mile radius. ;D

I unscrew the angle adapter (with brush attached) from the end of my aquadapter, put my unger ergotec scraper on the end of the aquadapter, extend pole and scrape of bird mess/muck, then turn on the aquadapter and rinse away. You can use the scraper with the aquadapter rinsing at the same time to help prevent scratches.

update

went to finish the job today had to by a unger angle adapter so the scrapper didn'f fall off at height which cost me £15
Scrubed the window with a aplicator that had fairy and tfr on it then scraped the whole window then used the wfp system to scrub and rinse off.

If you take into account the cost of the unger tool i did it for free  ;D

But what matters is the customer is well happy and i will be doing them again next month.
