Is TFR all it's cracked up to be?
« on: January 22, 2008, 07:46:02 pm »
Had a gutter clean today, really green horrible mess. Started cleaning with pure water but then got bogged down with the north facing side, really solid algae. Soaked the whole run with tfr for ten minutes and started again - not a blind bit of difference! Anyone else find no difference between water and tfr?

is TFR not caustic? what happens if you get it onto any glass?

Nothing in my experience. Glass is happy with it.

That's unfortunate dave.
I've only had terrific results with mine & been amazed at how easy it's made the removal of the green stuff.
Got mine from smarterworld, it's non-caustic.

I'm still undecided on the stuff.
Given that people say they use it on garage forecourts because of all the polutants, I gave some to a customer who was having trouble keeping his helicopter clean and had ended up using T-Cut to get the polutants off.
Results: Didn't work

When it comes to doing gutters I spray on a patio cleaner and leave that on for a while before washing off.

personally speaking tfr is not what cracked up to be , if you want upvc back to new white look it take more than tfr, i have cleaned many white upvc products using tfr yes it does make cleaning easier but making it pure white ? plus lots of elbow grease reqd , if customer look hard dirt and discolouring can be seen
let all look for new products
