If virosol doesn't shift it then it's not getting shifted. Anything stronger risks damaging the plastic imo. Customers are made aware of this at time of quote. So far no problems.

I use bio washing detergent. It doesn't harm the plastics and does a fine job in brining back the white sheen.

Marc seen you mention the wash bio liquid before how do you do apply/that.

Do you put wash bio in spray bottle with pure water, then spray on frames and leave a couple of mins and wash off wfp like using virosol etc?

Lee, thanks.

Firstly give a goodvsoakwith virosol, 5:1 mix with water...  Leave for 5 mins then apply some upvc cleanervtonyour brush head and give a good scrub...  Then turn on your water, ideally hot, and scrum again until rinsed..... That will do the trick....

About a fortnight ago I bought one of Unger's in-line detergent dispenser and I've now done two jobs with it. It works very well and the detergent is very easily rinsed. Highly recommended.

Just dip the brush in the bio powder and brush on with a tiny bit of water flow. Leave on for 10 mins let the enzymes break down the dirt and wfp off

always comes up like new
