First job today

[Alec]

After buying a van & rigging up with a pole system. I've completed my first outside clean today... Fascias, soffits, windows frames & conservatory in & out.. Well outside was filthy covered in moss etc.. I'm knackered, does it get any better?

Anyone know of a decent UPVC cleaner? I've used No Nonsence from Screw fix 5 cap fulls to 5 litres ffs it never made any dif. Am I best to use it neat or 50/50...

Also my system is brand new complete but the battery only last a few hours & uses to much water. So my guess is switch this down to 22ish.. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.. Thank you in advance.

Virosol for green connys.

You say turn the flow down to 22. Does your controller go up to 99? 22 sounds very low to me.

Goes up to 99 mate, I've had it on 30, then lowered it to 22 as was running out of water, but Christ it seems to thrash through water..

was it the no nonsense degreaser? If so use 20:1 and leave it 5mins before scrubbing

Yes mate that's the one, reviews were good.. what would happen if I squirted it nest onto the UPVC? Guessing it would be a waste

It would do a good job of shifting the dirt but would be a huge waste and would turn out to be an expensive job for you.

Like Clisty said, 20:1 would be fine. So for your 5 litres of water you'd need 250ml No nonsense, a fair bit more than 5 cap fulls!

Nice one dude. Got to give it a final clean tomo as today was basically getting the **** off it. Suppose most would say it's done, but I want her sparkling, this baby will lead to more work I'm sure..

order some virosol, great stuff. do not leave too long on upvc. use a sprayer. about 30 secs, clean in stages, just spray the areas you are leaning in that stage. have you got a sill brush to do connys and gutter facias, best brush to use. You can always use a hosepipe . if you make a hozelock fitting for your pole. remove most of the stubborn **** first, then clean brush and use your pure, making it less waste using your pure water.

to make a hose connection, some hosepipe, one end with a hozelock fitting, the other end with a male or female fitting for your pole hose connection.

I never use pure for fascia/upvc cleans as it's a massive waste. You need to hook up to the customers outside tap.

This fella didn't have an outside tap as I said I'd also jetwash decking but had to use bucket & decking bush bloody hard graft..

If your reel has got a hozelock fitting just get a bit of hose with a hozelock fitting either side. Just make sure you flush the hose out for a couple of minutes before cleaning windows.
