I hit it wit the virosol but it was still a pain in the behind lol. Ill be double the price on all glass roofs from now on. Ive done 2-3 before but this was by far the worst

 
I clean them often, never had a problem, easy and quick to do with the right brush and a good flow of pure water – no chemicals needed.

Use a boars hair brush, if you don’t have one use a Nylon filament brush – these are absorbent filaments, what ever you use don’t use a low to non absorbent filament such as polyester filament, a one hour job could take you 10 times longer or you will need to put in 10 times the effort.

I would rather spray with virosol than spend all that extras time scrubbing. It was covered it dry green stuff (algae I think it is?) the stuff was rock hard.

 
harunh, you can contact me direct if you want a brush.

In some cases using a chemical or detergent to aid in cleaning is fine, but you can still use a different brush.

Just make sure the brushes are actually different, I have read post where a window cleaner says he has 5 or 6 brushes, with all the same type of brush filament, having two very different brushes would be of more use.

Mk Cleaners, A Boars Hair brush will remove Green & Black algae from a glass roof not matter how many years it’s been on there. Once you have washed away any grit and at the same time given the pure water a chance to soak in, you can apply more pressure and I can assure you the algae will be cleaned off almost immediately.

You don’t have to buy my brushes, but if you do want to buy a different brush, make sure the brush does have a different filament, and then you will be trying something different.

In this instance - Brush/Filament difference doesn’t mean a change in filament colour or stiffness or length, shape, size or weight; these changes are too small to be expecting a big difference when cleaning.

mk can u spray ecover ? and will it do the same job as virosol ?
Im not a fan of e-cover, before I started with vir0sol I used fairy. It worked okay but theres alot of scrubbing invloved. Virosol isnt that expensive I think I got mine for about 10-15 quid for 5 litre. Its also good for cleaning van/cars. I spray some on before I was my van, then just go over it with water. Comes up great!

You have my interest, could you link me to the brush you speak of?

 
I find Virosol makes plastic dull.

YOU DON'T LIKE ECOVER HOW DARE YOU lol
Seriously? lol. I find it has the opposite effect. Dodger had a good example of this on his facebook page.

Theres nothing wrong with it per say. I think Ive used fairy that long that im addicted to it in some way lol

 
I’m almost caught up; you can ignore any previous brush prices. I will open the new ecommerce shop soon, if you want a brush or just interested in the latest price email me – [email protected] until then.

Prices have come down that may go up or down a few pence but for example a jetted brush that comes with 2 x pencil jets, hose and Y piece is around the £34.00 and a replacement brush stock less than this price

Complete brushes with heads start from around £44 - £60 depending on the spec and I will be releasing a cost effective brush head attachment soon, so a ready to go Aerial brush will be around £37, the new brush head is not cheap plastic it a quality anodised aluminium that will outlast the use of 50-100 brushes.

All Tecbuk brush heads can be re-used and should last you many years, the only wearing part is the moving pivot part which can be replace at a cost of around £2 - £4
