How do you guys clean conservatory's?
« on: September 18, 2014, 08:42:38 pm »
As the title says really how do you guys clean conservatories? I've now done 4 but each time I've always felt I've been missing a trick even though customers have been delighted. I don't use chemicals as I've not got the confidence yet. I use customer outside tap with gardiner clx water fed pole and Eco cover washing up liquid. What do you use? I'm tempted to go down the autosmart 101 route as Darren (smudger) has has some great results.

Thanks tony will do. What dilution rate do you us and how long do you leave it to dwell? Also do you use a sprayer to put it on or you WFP?

Also use the quick attachments on your clx and make some of your own tools to snap on the end of the pole, i have even used a hard scrubbing nail brush to loosen some tuff grime.

Carbon pole are much better as they do not bend that much (25 slx does most).
My old clx is converted into a chemical sprayer connect to back pack so i can spray all levels of property from floor

hi kev...i must admit i went a bit OTT with a 50/50 ratio cleaning the conny in those images. you dont need anywhere near that ratio, im now using about 1/20 and still getting the same results.

i just use a garden sprayer leave to soak, not even 5 mins, i get really good results, for those areas i cant reach by hand i just spray directly on to the brush, again good results

Thanks David I've ordered 5 litres of virosol and 5 litres of ubik from a website you linked on another post as they offered free deliver. £14 for both delivered not bad. So to clarify you would dilute virosol say 1/20 spray all over the conny with a standard pump sprayer and leave for 5 minutes then rinse of using a water fed pole. Does that sounds right?

Yes that's right 1/20 ......that's still quite a strong mix so you could experiment using less

Let us know how you get on.
