cif cleaner on a wet rag if you want to be removing stubborn stains on their pvc.i just use wfp and damp microfibre for all maintenance cleans.

anyone else notices certain types of leaves stain the pvc?i clean them the best i can with wfp/cloth but most of the time it doesnt come off.

Hi Dazmond,

I had thought of investing in a conservatory ladder as I have worked out that it would be quicker to do it manually than the way I do it at the moment.
However, I have always tried to stay away from offering this service so at the moment I couldn't justify the cost.

I also have found that certain plants stain the window sills, roses being one of them. Spider poo also seems to do this and will get worse over then next couple of months. But I find that as the winter progresses the stains seem to disappear - perhaps the ultraviolet light has something to do with it.

hi spruce i wouldnt bother with conny ladders unless you want to make your job harder!!i find wfp and tfr sufficient for most pvc.its usually old conservatories that are stained grey.i say to these customers"im a cleaner not a miracle worker!!" ;) ;D ;D ;D

as for the leaf stains i clean them the best i can but dont spend too much time on the them as id never get much work done!!
price higher/work harder!

Thanks Dave
We haven't been out today either due to the North East weather, although it's brightened up to become a lovely afternoon and evening.

astonish! is a good product it will fill in small scratches and
leaves a nice finish

I've still got a dried out pot of Astonish in the van. It cleans UPVC nicely, but again you need to use a lot of muscle.

lucky ive got plenty then isnt it! :)
