Lichen on cony roof?
« on: May 29, 2012, 10:13:03 pm »
hi guys

I had a cony roof to do on Friday and i thought it would be a straight clean untill i got up there and took a look,
it was dotted with white lichen spots all over, had real trouble washing it off with the brush, each time i soaked it and then went back to it, it had dryed again as it was 27c here  >:( and the heat was doing me in, in the end i used my mop on an unger pole to scub at it and it started to come off. How do you guys takle this?

Cheers fellas :)

'and the heart was doing me in'  ???

What is it angina?

You should take it easy matey.

Stiffer brush? I find the Vikan range to be better all round than the others. There I've said it I like the vikan brushes they're better for cleaning and glide over the glass  8)

I had some stubborn lichen on a poly lean to last week swapped the brush to a trusty vikan and off it came.
