If you have had a spell of dry days I would give it a big pre-wetting with water to soften all the crud. Upvc is an easy clean, the dirt just sits on the surface

Upvc is an easy clean, the dirt just sits on the surfaceI’ve cleaned it quite a few times but just wanted to make it a bit easier. The UPVC decking has a wood effect textured surface to make it anti slip, so not quite as easy as cleaning a smooth UPVC surface.

Hypo seems to be the poular choice so I’ll give that a bash. Where’s the best place to get hypo, what would be the dilution ratio and what surfactant if any should I use? Sorry for all the questions but as you will probably guess I don’t do softwashing or powewashing. We get ours from a farm shop 20 ltr costs £12 , as for surfactant we get that from bonnymans it’s cheap as chips as you only need 300 ml ( coke can full) per neat drum of 20 ltr hypo we use laurel dimethylamine oxide , if you want to add a scent mask again bonnymans sell it . Dilution rate for UPVC we use 7 -1 , that’s 7 ltr of water to 1 ltr of hypo . Hope this helps
