Ive been using other standard chemicals bubbles up the glass helps a lot with first cleans then just rinses off nicely.

but I got some virsol today in a little spray bottle (neat with out water) sprayed on brush and did my own windows came up lovely I understand you must make sure its all rinsed well and mustn't remain on glass or pvc am I right then simple as that? can be a nice little chemical instead of the usual ones ive been using to help with first cleans and stuff or is there anything I'm missing or need to be careful about with it?

Using Virosol neat can and will stain white upvc brown/yellow , you don’t need to use it any stronger than 10/1 , if applying it like you say you might get away with it but it takes a lot longer to rinse and remove the sticky film that using it neat causes especially if rinsing with cold water , it’s also a waist of product , as it won’t clean any better

Hi. So you're saying apply it 1 to every 10th of the bottle and thats alot safer generally nothing to worry about.
im presuming as long as everything is rinsed off there is nothing to worry about?

We mix 1 ltr of virosol to 10 ltr of water works well and Evan if it dries on the glass or plastic  in over 10 years of using it I haven’t had any problems , using it neat can and does cause problems , just poor some neat on to concrete or tarmac and see what happens 😂😂😂😂 using it diluted it also rinses offmuch easier

There probably is some danger to it, especially if not taking care.

I was using it for like a year or two and never had an issue, keep it wet.

I've been using caustic TFR all day today 2-1 "0" problems.

Spray the brush, go up and jet the windows and frames till soaked, scrub it in good. Super scrape the glass while its sitting then scrub and rinse till gone.

No question about chemicals is silly or daft.  In fact if more people bothered to check there would be less cock ups.  Technically all surfaces that have been treated with chemicals should be rinsed with clean water or a pH Neutral product.  However whilst it is always better to rinse where possible leaving the residue of Virosol diluted 10:1 or even better 15:1 probably isn’t going to do much harm to PVC  or Wooden Frames and glass.

Mm thank you very much I feel a bit daft asking  for some reason.
I will definitely dilute it I mean I'm now a little bit concerned a lot of people are saying probably most likely won't haven't had any problems I'm a bit worried about it what is it about it I suppose it's very powerful and it can do harm if you don't rinse it off and let it stay

[dazmond]

Virosol is so concentrated anyway I don't know how you could use it neat!I couldn't imagine filling a backpack with it....the bubbles would be unbelievable!a Little goes a long way...

I bought four 5L tubs years ago and I've still got 1 and a half tubs left!

If you use Virosol on some glass, self-cleaning glass, it can bugger it right up. It’ll come out looking almost like frosted glass

what the hell u serious? thing is you wont know from looking untill you start cleaning that its self cleaning.. im thinking i wasted my £7.50 
am i missing something it cant be worth risking destroying windows or creating basically a builders clean i could just stick to the mainstream stuff that been using to help on first cleans fine for ages,.

[Slacky]

Yes I am serious.

I’ve used Virosol on two conservatory roofs where the appearance of the glass has deteriorated significantly to the point where it can't be looked through.

Fortunately there is a simple remedy to resolve it but it isn’t compatible with self-cleaning glass.

[Slacky]

I test a small area before commencing cleaning now.

[dazmond]

ive used virosol on self cleaning glass roofs before with no problems but i diluted it a fair bit(at least 10 parts water to 1 part virosol) and didnt let it dwell too long but i usually just use hot pure now on any glass roofs and leave the virosol for polycarbon roofs and plastic cleans....

I know you said this before we have used it for 10 years on self cleaning glass at a ratio of 10-1 and never had a problem on any surface with it and we get through 12 twenty ltr drums per year , how did you use it when you had problems ? I evan leave it to dry in the sun on self cleaning glass ,plastics and it’s been fine

[Slacky]

Can’t remember, but knowing me it would’ve been a lot stronger than 10:1. I usually work with something like 3:1.

You sure you didnt pick up the brake fluid in error 

[Crystal-clear]

ok so a bit of conflicting opinions

Slacky vs SWR
Do we mix in my little 500ml bottle 10-1  water per virosol and spay it on brush to help with upvc frames and first cleans generally

or do i run for the hills and revert to main stream detergents which i know don't destroy houses 

one of you says 10 years no problems other says problems
