Fascia, soffit and guttecleaning - off a ladder

    What's the quickest way to clean uPVC fascia and soffits and aluminium gutters without a pressure washer? It's covered in green algae and hasn't been done for years.

    I was thinking of using Screwfix No Nonsense Degreaser.

    It's a 4 bed detached and I can't spend all day doing them.

    Thanks in advance.

    Spray them in a mix of bio washing power and warm water first kills off the green growth. See how they look after

    I've tried various methods over the years but I'd never use a powerwasher, in my opinion that just sprays the dirt somewhere else- usually all over the (dashed) walls and windows. Last time I did it I used a spray bottle to spray a fine mist of detergent over the area, work it in with a softish brush (for car cleaning), rinse off and wipe down with a microfibre cloth. Labour intensive but really got into all the crevices and the job looked great after.
