I may have a contract to clean a load of conservatorys, i dont know how bad they are yet but i heard truck wash is used alot ofr grime and stuff which you can get from gardiners site.

just wondering if anyone uses it and is it worth getting?

I did a massive canopy clean at a supermarket this Sunday gone.  I noticed when it was mixed stronger 5% rather than 2 or 3 it did shift stuff better.  So there must be something in it.

Ahh, apart from being a newbie at window washing, I'm an expert at vehicle cleaning equipment and chemicals.

I'd say, be very careful with TFR type products, most will stain glass, and will definitely stain if it dries on anywhere at all in the sun. 

A very very good and great value cleaner that works well is Autosmart G101.  If you know any car valeters or garages that buy from the local Autosmart rep (goes round in a truck) ask them to get you some - around £14 for 5Ltrs.  To be diluted 30:1 so goes a LONG way.
Same as with TFR though, don't be tempted to mix too strong, it can easily stain glass.

Sorry to be thick - but how do you apply it and use it?

Ecover is fine for conny roofs outside of guarantee, BUT ensure you use the manufacturers recommended product and methods to clean the roof if still within the guarantee!

Otherwise you could be in the sticky brown stuff!

ecover all the way for me for all types of Upvc, buy a gallon from Alex gardiner and give it a try.

I'm a clueless newbie, is there a link to where I can buy ecover ? ta.

I've stained glass with tfr. I want a better alternative when my current lot runs out.

i have 3 conserv to clean in the next month, i have some TFR but as they are glass roofs i am not sure

If you dilute it properly then it might be ok. My stuff is useless at the recommended dilution rates.

I've used ecover on loads of glass conservatory roofs Matt and its dried sometimes in the sun but it washed off easy with no staining

ive used it on quite a lot of conservatorys and all the customers are delighted with the result however you say you use it on glass roofs how would it affect self cleaning glass iv got a job to go and do and was goin to just use pure water???

any advice would be appreciated cheers

I never touch self cleaning glass without first explaining to the custy about the glass then I get them to sign a waiver if they still want it done after the warning & signing the waiver then I clean the glass as normal using the same ratio mix.

I had one custy saying it was ok for me to clean his roof but when I produced the waiver he wouldn't sign it? : He never did get hid roof done.

Don't know why you want to use any chemicals, get the roof wet and the brushes shift it simple enough. Why add to your costs 

[dave0123]

Thanks for the reply's might just use normal GG3 soap, depends how dirty they are onced ive taken a look anyway.
