Been called by an estate manager to clean a house windows inside and out, only 12 windows but the tenant specifically wants all the mould cleaning off all the rubber seals around the units (can only think bleach would do it?) and as you open the window she wants all the grime cleaned off the insides of the ledges where the metal hinges are!! looks bad, so i said £200 and they said yes, but im starting o doubt if that will be enough, as the grime is pretty bad.
Is bleach right for the mould?
Any ideas for the insides of the units and hinges???
Thanks in advance :

thanks mate, i tried cilit bang whilst there as she had some but even that only just came close, cheers, ill try the mould remover
might spray them all then leave and go and do outside whilst they soak

Although it adds to the cost have you thought of using a steam cleaner? Perhaps you could pass the cost on.
I have used them in the past to great effect.

[andyatkinson]

good plan, are they much to buy??If it makes the job much easier than its worth spending the cash to have one for next time

A hoover too Andy to get the initial load of loose gunk and dust out from the inside ledges.

If the mould has"taken hold" you may never get rid of it. Bleach will not remove mould, neither will cillit,and neither will mould remover if the mould spores have started to grow into the rubber. Mould is not dirt it is a fungus type that will eat into surfaces leaving them damaged. Would cover yourself saying that you may be able to treat the outer layer of the mould (if lucky!), but that it may have already damaged the seals.

I use Nitromors paint stripper  on quite a few jobs and it cleans anything off of upvc

[andyatkinson]

safe on the insides luther?

[luther1]

Yes. I do alot of cleans for a builder ( in & out) and it gets everything off of the plastic and glass that wfp or scrims don't. Only about £5 in B&Q so have a little go at home 1st!

Andy's mould is also on the rubber seals, will it be any good on those? 

[Helen]

if the mould is in silcone around the windows you wont get it out.
 you will have to replace it..

Thanks, Andy put that disclaimer in!

[luther1]

Yes. I dab a bit on my scrim then rub it on the mouldy gasket. Jobs a good'n'.
