cladding cleaning
« on: August 26, 2010, 09:39:17 am »
hi guys,
just a quick question as i`ve got a large amount of plastic cladding that needs cleaning, im wfp and use a supalite mono which i think would give a poor scrubbing power, im changing to a viken sill brush so would that be good for cladding or is thier another brush thats superior for this type of work

that side took 2 of us around 2 hours

the gable and down the windows had to be done with the SL2 and we swapped over every 10 mins, once low enough both of us worked together with the SL2 and SLX

the building had not been cleaned for 6 years

Looking at the photo, did you clean that cladding in an up and down scrubbing action?
I have found that you also need a sideways scrubbing action to get a thorough clean.

spray tfr on it first. leave 10mins then go over with wfp. just melts away the dirt.
