Been asked to clean this canopy - what's the best way?
« on: July 02, 2018, 03:42:43 pm »
I've been asked to clean this canopy roof, it looks like fibreglass to me...

I'm planning on a strong dose of virosol followed by a good scrub/wash down which usually does the trick on FSG cleans. Do you reckon it'll work OK on this? Or do you recommend something else?

I've done those and they've been extremely simple to clean with pure.  I've also done them and had to admit defeat despite every cleaning product I owned.  Nothing inbetween.

I've had one of those before.
 I tried a small patch before with Virosol and pure water and neither could make a dent in it.
It was dirtier than yours and had a lot of grey coloured lichen on it too.
Told customer I couldn't help.

They are usually a b!tch to clean

we do them now with a hypo solution and pressure washer to rinse down but water fed pole will also be fine just takes a little longer

Not done one but virosol would be my first choise , if not looking good enough ide then try a hypo mix Ime sure that would work unless the plastic has yellowed with age

If there's an extension roof you can stand on - for easier access to the canopy - stand on it.

There is a flat roof I can stand on. That's what I intend doing....
