Inside of perspex conservatory roof.

[Doug]

Hi

I have a one off job for cleaning a conservatory. All straight forward excerpt for the inside of the roof and plastic struts which have not been cleaned for a long time probably 10 years plus and the customer smokes in there so there is nicotine and very old fly pooh everywhere.  I would appreciate any tips as to the best solutions / chemicals for such a job. 

Many thanks

Doug

I have a polycarbonate roof on my conservatory. When I cleaned mine, I used one of those kitchen floor mop thingys, the ones that swivel.

I sprayed a diluted virosol in onto it, moped it all over, then cleaned the mop thingy in pure water and went over it again.

Came up lovely

Dodge it, if you cant then wear a throw away paper overall, mask, hat, glasses and trutouch gloves. Buy a pump sprayer and put either Ubik, Virosol or degreaser, one litre degreaser and 9 litres water and spray away, one panel at a time and clean with rags or paper. Do it on a cloudy cold day. Oh aye, wear a dust mask. :1f609:

I have quoted for 4 over and under clean door entrances that are up to 20' high. Would the Vikan reach to do the underside, can WFP to get them wet, just need to dry them after to save the droplets drying dirty.

Gardiner sell the doodlebug but I find this really floppy compared the the easyshine.

Yes I have done 25ft internal glass with them, but order plenty of pads they get dirty really quick. photo attached of some of the pads I use the vikan and unger pads as good for drying and polishing, the unger and streamline scrub pads as better if the windows are more soiled. 



Purchase the gardiner internal cleaning kit hook it up to their backpack use the 100 degree jet and a quick tug on the univalve otherwise you will have to keep lowering your pole to spray the pads with pure.

Sorry just reread what you have written yes if you can WFP them then just wipe with pads just make sure you buy plently of pads.

we use the on fascias, soffits and they get right behind gutter to dry off much better than faffing around tying towels around your brush to dry off.

The same place you buy your pinnies ?

 

[Doug]

Thanks for the input, I have ordered one of the Vikan easy shines to test out.

Trad pole with TFR and excellerator 

 

[Doug]

Sorry but what is TFR and accelerator?

 

[CHWS]

A squeegee that you can adjust the angle on and TFR is traffic film remover which is a degreaser. Any degreaser will work. Just put a bit in the bucket. Best using a separate applicator to apply as you can get a better scrub compared to the excellerators flip pad

thanks for the clarification.

£750 minimum.  Last time I did a heavy nicotine job it got on my skin, into my system and I was off sick for a week.   

Now whenever I see nicotine staining that's the price.  Don't seem to get them though. ???
