Fascia and soffits
« on: October 21, 2009, 09:13:22 pm »
Just picked up my first cleaning job on these.

I have seen CIF mentioned but some say causes scratches on the pvc.

Also Dr Power and TFR?  Where can I buy TFR and is this the right stuff for UPVC?

Thanks
Mike

hey fella !
 done a few of these myself  always try to keep the due date for these a bit open ended so i can slide them in on a rainy day (get somone on the bottom of your ladder),
i always find bucket of warm water , fairy liquid and a tesco microfiber cloth (£2 a pack, 2  in a pack blue ,green ,yellow or pink if your daring!!!) will shift most muck. but i always carry a bottle of fairy power spray (tescos £3 50ish) and small dustpan type brush for brackets and elbows  all this kit will last for ages and leave my job looking sparkly.
Good luck
Cheers Tom

My friend the spelling of conservatory on your website is wrong. Don't mean to pick holes just thought you would like to know  :)
