I remember Tadgh was talking about it and he sent me some via email.

Do you have some?

I'm still not convinced yet that virosol stains. Unless it's undiluted.

Try this stuff, doesn't stain glass even when undiluted, neutral pH, at least as good a cleaner as the high alkali ones like virosol and ubik, free shipping to ireland/uk, no i'm not connected with this product, i just use it.

Pure do you mean an orange stain?? If that's the case then yeah, I know what you mean...

Low dilution and not washing it off quick enough has caught me a few times on white gutters. Oh and leaving a custies door with a mottled finish  :'(   ..  she didn't notice thank ....

Yep orange stained. Chap was ok. I still can't work out how he got overspray :(

Agreed to replace the gutter. £5 if that.

Do you do that yourself or get someone to do it?

I hate trying to fix gutters. Can be a pain. Lol

It's only a small section. Capable of replacing it ;)

I got some on my arm which had run down the roof and noticed a orange stain down it later on, washed off easily though

It will stain painted wood surfaces if used undiluted.

I changed to Citraclean for exactly the same problem. Undiluted or if left, so far, I've never seen a stain.

I did try neat bleach on a customers orange spotted door step - it didn't do anything to remove it. Luckily, they didn't notice and still havn't and if they have, they havn't said anything.

I wouldn't mind one if you could throw in a frame as well.
We're a bit sick of the picture of the dogs playing pool on the living room wall.

The staining was bright orange spots.

Here is a pic after it had been cleaned several times and I had used
Solvent!!

It's not very noticeable but before it was.

I reckon you can get that with off with some magic sponges. Would save you having to replace it.

What dilution rate where you using pure h20 services?

That staining is after magic sponges. Solvents and washing about 10 times.

I wanted to take photos before I even touched it. But when you have the owner looking at every part of his property I was like sod this lol I need to get these cleaned quick smart.

It was about 1:5

Like an idiot I used virosol to use it up as I think it's rubbish. I got staining before with it you see.
