Had a particularly bad gutter clean to do today, very green and very dry almost baked on. Normally i would soak with tfr but today i tried a different method. I just soaked it first with water, gave it ten minutes and cleaned normally. Came off easily.

you should have added some isowhatsitsname, would have helped 

[Sir Squeaky]

No it's not worth it.
It's just glorified washing up liquid.

Just chuck soapy water at it and leave to soak for 2 mins if in doubt.

TFR is not any better than hot water or a bit of something sudsy 

[Sir Squeaky]

Yes, even better. Hot!
Didn't think of that.

[alanwilson]

yeah I'd agree, not that I have a hot wfp system but I can imagine this would be another benefit of Hot wfp.

[Russell Macdonald]

I think the stuff is magic, would not be without it.

i have used it in past but discovered i got same results if i just used
pure water

[karygate]

we,ve done loads of roofsgutterings etc. soak with pure water all round give it a couple of minutes and always get a great result. without tfr more effort with it more expense.

[mark dew]

Hmm. That's interesting. I was a convert for tfr. But after reading this i will have another look.
cheers

I was of the opinion that TFR applied in a concentrated form using a cloth gets rid of the discolouration that occurs on uPVC but is nothing special so far as grime is concerned. I think it works in a similiar way as T-Cut does on cars.

And that eCover is best  for cleaning grime off uPVC.

I looked at the guttering and thought - no way is that coming off without tfr. I'm interested to hear how you all get on. I have noticed conservatory roofs and guttering are sooo easy in the rain that i'm beginning to think tfr has no effect whatsoever other than as a degreaser.

tried scrubbing with pure water only crap..
tfr sprayed on for a few minutes wiped with cloth came of easy.
as for just algae if will come of with good soak..

Rubbing it with a cloth is the difference. But if you dont want to climb a ladder then TFR makes no more difference than with wfp alone.

I did one the other day with hot wfp and then the other half with TFR, then hot water. Tfr definitely eases the job and makes it quicker. I put the TFR on with a brush and pump it up under very low pressure so I can give it a good scrub at the same time then rinse off with fan jets.
