Ecover Truck Wash available from gardiners, Just spray it on leave it for 5/10 minutes then Just brush it off with running water,  no need for pure.

I use this stuff, £1.90 litre, excellent really gets the crap off, with no streaking or damage.

If you use tfr make sure its non caustic.

Close the http bit.

Take a look at my web-site at the guttering section and Judge for yourself, I wouldn't use anything else now, you don't have to worry about destroying custy's plants or killing any of there fish in ponds as its eco friendly aswell.

True but he did say commercial, i use other stuff for domestic. I purely use this stuff for commercial because its more cost effective.

Are you on commision for gardiners ;D

Wish I was
To put you in the picture, I discovered it and I tested it for nearly 12 months on all types of upvc that was in all mucky conditions before I told everyone about it, I wouldn't say a word about it if I thought it was no good and to cover large areas and clean them quickly I'll recommend it anytime.

Used that tool today, it was very good. I still had to go up the ladders several times and used a hand trowel, but it did save me loads of time and accessed several bit's that I couldn't get to and/or ladders were unsuitable for. Large modern 5bed 2hrs inc wclean £90 then , modern three bed 1hr inc wclean £60. (the gutters were black in colour and I made little attempt to clean them externally but were very full and blocked with debris).

Sorry for butting in.

but does this get all inground stains out??
It may need a second application, but just look at the state of some of the guttering I did, for all the ones on my web I used one application only.

Mines up for renewal £50 py and it no longer supports frontpage, a programme that i am useless at anyway. I take it you used templates, if so you got a very good result.

My website is useless and i should have a bash at it.

I have no experience of building websites and the only one I have ever done was my own, I used the supplied templates, there isn't a vast choice of them, so I took what was on offer, you can fiddle around with them a little, but I must admit I have seen much better templates around, the old saying is, you get what you pay for and as I never paid a penny I had little choice in templates.

I used Truck Wash on a gutter job on Thursday that hadnt been cleaned for 27 years  ;D ;D

Oh how I wish Id had my camera with me.

I know it was 27 years as the owner said thats how old the house was, she'd lived there from new and hadnt had the gutters cleaned ever.




Id be lying if I said they came up like brand new, gutters after that amount of time however clean will age regardless of the fact they're plastic, but all things considered they couldnt have come up better; required two applications of Truck-Wash to get the job done.


Custy was exceptionally pleased too, which is whats important.

I find just using wfp works great even if your just using normal tap water. soak it all and even green mossy stuff comes off!
