CONSERVATORY ROOF CLEANING

Cleaning Polycarbonate and Glass Roof Panels

You will have to be extra cautious cleaning a polycarbonate roof than a glass one. Typical home cleaners may harm the chemical coatings the manufacturer may have applied to shield it from the Ultra violet rays.

You should check the cleaning instructions supplied by the manufacturer or contractor, but generally these will explain not to scrub polycarbonate with brushes; to stay away from all abrasives and cleaners with an alkaline formula; in no way, use any petrol based cleaner and finally to steer clear of cleaning the polycarbonate on very hot days.

Like a glass roof, it is advisable to use mild warm soapy water on a polycarbonate roof before thoroughly rinsing in clean water.

For those who have chosen self cleaning glass for your conservatory it will stay cleaner for longer than untreated glass. However it will require cleaning from time-to-time; in addition and the direction your conservatory is facing and your geographical area, there will be various amounts of moss build up, as well as lichens appearing and undoubtedly algae and bird waste that will need to be washed off.

The majority of conservatory roof cleaning can be carried out from ground level with telescopic poles completely extended along with an attached water feed. A powerful spray using warm soapy water should move most of the grime although stubborn stains should be gently scrubbed before rinsing in clean water.
