Would/could you use a WFP system to clean an entire exterior of a caravan, taking into account they accumulate algae as they can often stand for so long without being touched. Just thinking about the brush head getting covered in heavy dirt/algea etc.

Yes I've cleaned  a fair few, they are a ball ache so charge well.

Thanks, I like charging well! How do you get on with keeping the brush head clean, free from algae etc. And do u ever use your brush head with chemicals or totally avoid?
Cheers

I have always just used pure water with a soft bristled brush, never really had a problem with the brush getting dirty from algae on caravans , its alot worse cleaning windows this time of year with cobwebs  just give the brush  a quick wipe with ya hand every now and then;)

Are you talking about static caravans or Touring?  What do you charge as a matter of interest?  How do you do the roof efficiently?  By this I mean getting round things like, Heki Lights, Air Con Units and Solar Panels?  How long does it take you to do one?

I would leave touring caravans well alone, windows, Heki roof light and decals are easily damaged.

I did one many years ago, it was for a window cleaning customer of mine, he was trying to sell it and asked me if I could clean it.

he towed it down to my house and I remember I charged him £50 and it only took me an hour

this was about 10 years ago so at the time £50 for 1 hours work was a result and suffice to say he was happy with it as next time I went to clean the windows at the house the caravan had been sold

We have done both but I was referring to static caravans , takes about 45 muinits with two people and that’s doing a small plastic decking area as well but not the roofs as they are a tile effect and rough surface .
Touring caravans are more of a pain with roof lites we generally virosol them , go inside open the roof lites and clean around them with a sponge rinse off shut  the roof lite and then do the rest we use little giant ladders for access if we cannot reach it all from the ground successfully depending on size again takes as long as a static caravan although it’s smaller . We use hot wfp to scrub and rinse unless there is a garden hose available if there is then we use that to rinse off .

I do my own (old) touring caravan once a year.

The main difficulty of course is the roof and I use my little gate ladder with ladder mitts to get to it. The roof is also likely to be the dirtiest and if it is dirty/has green in it I dip my brush in a fairy liquid mix in my bucket.

I also have a roof cover I put on it for the closed season which means that now I only have to use water. If you can connect their tap that helps to do the donkey work and then finish off with pure.

Algae gets in the trim/awning rail and I put a soft rag round a small flat blade screw driver and run it along to get it out.

Be gentle on the windows as they are usually plastic.

Takes about an hour.

we always clean tourers with wfp - roofs are never a problem just work off a ladder - TFR - Hypo then rinse

Statics can be done as well and I have but that is really hard work - we soft wash ours now and usually do  14 to 16 a day with roof clean and decks

I put slide protectors in my awning rails that way they stay immaculate.  It also means when you actually use it and fit the real awning it takes seconds and slides in like grease lightning
