Hi Tony

Is it safe to use on wood frames?

[tonycarr]

hi harry....to quote from manufacturer .......


 Viro-Sol is fast-acting to remove even the most stubborn soiling with ease.
Ideal to clean dirt, grime, diesel oil, food oil, fats, grease, tobacco film, body
fat,mineral oils, rubber, traffic film, and engineering oil from stainless steel, vinyl,
paint, ceramic, plastic, anti-slip surfaces and concrete.
Viro-sol is recommended for use on non slip floors, walls, industrial equipment,
machinery, dip tanks, vehicle valeting etc. Ideal boat and vessel cleaner (the ideal
bilge wash). Can be diluted with fresh or salt water. For decks, fishrooms, heavily
soiled paintwork or light rust.

dose not specifically say wood, but don't see why not.

Virosol is fine to use on wood. Have used it many times on wooden fascias etc without any problems.

I wouldn't be so sure. Everything in the list in none porous, other than concrete

So Duncan, what would you be using to clean up the wood frames and glass.

It's not been cleaned for long time and as always client expects the boll****

Them frames look like they want painting.

[Harry Roberts]

Yep the frames do need painting.

The rest of the conservatory has just been refurbished and so now the roof look really bad. I want to get the glass and frames back to how they should be to match the rest.

I used a 400:1 ratio TFR on a very dirty conservatory last week and it come up brilliantly. Never used virosol but it does sound a great product...

Virosol removes body fat. I have a bath in it once a week - lost ten stones so far!

I would use virosol  ...just saying not sure if its the correct thing. They cant expect the dogs when the frames are knackered

Last time I checked, decking is made of wood

That's good going Dave, not much more to loose now....

That is an original 'Vale' conservatory.
The traceries on the windows are aluminium.
The paint will fall off of them, as it's before they started powder coating.
The paint on the bearers wasn't a great quality either, I think it was 'Farrow & Ball'-quite thin.

If you want my advice, tell the customer that you'll do the glass of the roof after the bearers have been re-painted.
The paint is weak, it'll go milky and bleed out onto the glass.
It won't look good.
You won't get the paintwork nice either.
If it gets reprinted, with a decent paint, you'll have a chance of getting the glass up to a reasonable standard.
Charge high. Those conservatories are very, very expensive. They start around £50k now, the customer will have a few bob, which you probably know. And I'd imagine will be very fussy.
