getting ivy off upvc
« on: October 25, 2011, 07:57:45 pm »
Hi All, one of my window cleaning customers has asked me to get the ivy "roots" of her upvc cladding. She has already pulled the ivy away and all that remains is the roots which are well and truly stuck to the surface of the cladding.
Has anyone had any success with cleaning this type of thing? It's all round the guttering/facias too.
Thanks in advance for any response.

Theres an ivy plant next door to me and it has grew over the wall and onto my windows, I cut it back the other day and there was remains of it on my window frames (upvc). i just washed it with warm water and fairy liquid, looks good, no remains, took a bit of scrubbing though and I do it every few monhs so might no be as ground in as your cusomers

Thanks Kenny, I am pretty busy and would have told her I didn't have time but she is a stunner and I am only human  :)
