hello,
can somebody offer some advice on the best chemical to clean/enhance the appearance of white pvc? I have quoted a customer for the cleaning of there driveway and back garden patio and now they have asked for me to quote on cleaning the front and rear of their house which is entirely covered in white pvc cladding. it is quite badly soiled with green stains and cobwebs and dirt ect. hasn't been cleaned once since it was put up years ago. the driveway and patio are both equally as dirty. plenty of weeds, algae, moss and lichen. as the customer has already guaranteed me the job I cant wait to get stuck in and get the hypo down. I have a feeling this house will be a great advertisement and I will suley get some excellent before and after pics. the pathways are basically black. anyway back to the original question. what is the best chemical for pvc? I will be using a telescopic lance and also have wfp system. still new to this game so any advice welcome!!

Virosol

ive heard that before ill probably go with that just to be safe. does hypo work on pvc aswell? im hoping to restore the whiteness, is this achievable.

[Smudger]

If UPVC is mainly green/ dirty then virosol, g 101, ubik with a waterfed pole will return the cladding etc to as new condition

If you have rust, or stains from the felting these may only come out with a cream cleaner and hand scrub.

Forget using hypo

theres no rust, just green dirty and some bird keek.

thanks smudger that's exactly what I was hoping to hear.

Be a great little job that, won't take too long and get fab results, I like to do before/after pics as they really show what can be done

I have literally just started off doing this work, I am still in full time employment so basically just doin weekends but I am surprised that even at this time of year im still getting work on a regular basis. hopefully I will be able to leave my job come summer because I really hate what I do. also I am getting a real sense of satisfaction working for myself. website is still underway but everything else is coming along well, I had a look at your website some great photos on there. I see you have 3 vans on there, did you start out a 1 man operation like myself?

[Smudger]

Yep, started window cleaning just over 5 years ago, used the wife's vitara, a ladder, bucket, sponge and off I went 

It's hard work, but I've never looked back, don't think I could do engineering anymore even if wanted to


Good luck and hope you can make the break from work (paye) soon!
