What’s safe / effective on black cladding?

[matt1458]

Doing some work for a house builder, been asked to quote a second black cladding clean. We’ve done one already and it was a bit of a slow process just with WFP.. it’s mainly cobwebs, dust, welded on bird muck etc etc.

Any recommendations for speeding up the process? Not sure if Ubik or Virosol would be suitable because of the colour. It’s just big standard composite cladding (and already going grey!)

With it being black are you not risking spotting using tap water?

We have soft water so it would be fine , but if in a hard water area could cause issues possibly, don’t have much experience with hard water on this type of job good point

Hi, definitely use Rhino Goo UPVC Cleaner from Amazon or eBay.
That’s what we use and have for years on all plastic.
Totally safe, very effective.
It’s the only product we will ever use because we know it works brilliant and will not damage.

This is asking about cladding cleaning it looks like cement cladding not plastic ? But could be wrong

I think it will be fibre cement cladding as its fireproof, it's highly unlikely that they'd clad entire buildings in plastic.

It looks like standard composite cladding to me and if that’s the case, Rhino Goo UPVC Cleaner from
EBay or Amazon is definitely the product to use.
