When needed, I use a stuff from my local cleaning supplies shop that does the same.

It goes under the unlikely name of 'lichen and mold remover'.

I havn't. No need to. I use a stuff called 'lichen and mold remover'. Seems to do the job fine with just a spray and wfp.

You could get them results with tap water

this is what i keep on telling people, but no one believes me!!!!!

You could, but it will be a lot of hard work and a lot of time! Lichen doesn't come off that easily with just tap water!

Even small amounts of Lichen takes time. Lots would be a nightmare.

What's the stuff called ?

still trying it out before i reccommend it to anyone else to use.

So your not going to tell anyone what it is, your going to try and get it for the right price and sell it on yourself, have I got it right?

yes and no, i will tell what it is, then i will be stocking it to sell. I already get a small discount to what anyone else can buy it for in the shops already, but if i can get a better price then I will be selling it.

as this hasnt been used for this kind of work im not putting my name to it untill i know its fine. last think i want is to tell someone to use it, it damages some UPVC on a customers house thne that person has to pay out for it to be replaced, then it looks bad on me casue i told them to use it!

Very best thing for lichen removal on a polycarbonate roof is to wet it with water and then use a 12 inch squeegee with the rubber removed would have cleared that roof in under 10 minutes then rinse off

No chems needed for that

U must be thinking of something else, not of that shifted with our hot water and brushes! Lichen don't come off that easily.

Plus there is more chance of you doing damage to the plastic roof scraping it like that,

[Smudger]

Sorry to disagree RC but yes it's comes straight off and no it does not damage the poly carb as a squeegee blade holder has no sharp edges

Maybe it's safer than using " unknown chemicals " onto the plastic without testing first?

ive never had any come off with just water without spending a long time and hard work getting them off. plus you dont kill the spors or the roots off with just water either so not giving the customer as good as a job.
the scraper might not have any sharp edges but any grit on the roof that you are scraping at can damage the roof.

plus this isnt a unknown chemical at all, its from a leading cleaning chemical maker, that started in 1968 and there uk factory cover 16 achres, plus several over the world.

this chemicals main use is floors, walls, kitchens and food plant machinery.
