[windows_chepstow]

You could use a WFP... or am I stating the obvious?

Have you got one?

[Sir Squeaky]

Well obviously not, or he wouldn't be asking. :

Unless he has, but it's broken down again......

[vivaro 013]

yes i got wfp systems , which ive never  used to clean a consertvatory roof
the fancy centre piece is covered in mildew and dirt will pure water removes or will need a type of cleaner  

[windows_chepstow]

I've cleaned conservatory roof finials with a WFP.

It's a bit time consuming and hard on the shoulders, but it can be done.

It might be easier if you climb up onto the conservatory roof, using your roof ladder and clean them from there with your WFP.

[windows_chepstow]

Oh, yes, the pure water will remove all the green stuff and dirt.

put some tfr in a pump up sprayer and spray on the roof and the grime will just fall off use there outside tap to rinse off then a finale rinse with pure water we are doing one tomorrow it works for us edd

Hi V8edd,

What's tfr and where do you get it from?

What 'pump up' sprayer do you use?

[jeff1]

TFR = Traffic Film remover from motoring shops like Halfords

Jeff,

Cheers,

I'll try some of that.

Last Friday I did a massive conservatory roof; it was basically two big conservatories joined together.

I did it with a WFP and it was hard-work, but came up great in the end.

It took some scrubbing though; with a WFP from a ladder; I'm sure you can guess.

I'll get some of this TFR for my next similar job; hopefully it'll mean less scrubbing.

I've some photos of the job, but can't find the lead for my camera to my pc!!!

V8edd,thats exactly how we do it.
TFR is milk from the gods as far as we are concerned
We find it even easier if you spray it,have a fAg and a cuppa,then spray it again and clean with pole straight away.

[macc]

Do you dilute tfr.

Macc

[petski2]

We do.
We usually put about 2 parts TFR to 6 parts water.

Allways get our tfr from the local car wash, if you have one near you just pop in and ask one of the lads if you can buy a litre of them it will last you ages.

[groundhog]

you wfpers are getting brave climbing ladders! I thought that that was dangerous!!

[Sir Squeaky]

Must be only 3 rungs high, and bolted to the floor.

Parachutes are worn too.

[groundhog]

Make sure you don't look down!!!
