How to clean your conservatory
Typically, the British summer is somewhat persistent in Tunbridge Wells. By this, we mean that it either rains a lot or is actually quite sunny. Now we all know how hot a conservatory can get in the summer so we generally avoid relaxing in there. But these glass additions to our homes are designed and insulated to keep in heat during the winter and cool air during the summer, giving us the feeling of summer all year round. Although lots would disagree that this is the case. However, when the temperature rises, a new issue emerges because of the dry weather. That is dust. So when there’s dust in the air, it’ll settle on the glass of your conservatory. This makes it look grimy the next time you want to use it. So now is an excellent time to clean your conservatory, but you must be careful.
Precautions to take to clean your conservatory
Never go on the roof
DO NOT climb onto the roof! You shouldn’t stand on the roof of your conservatory to clean the glass. But rest assured that it is safe for its weight and has been designed with safety in mind. Regardless, you may easily lose your footing if you try to walk, or even crawl, across them.
Use the proper equipment
Then even if you manage to avoid falling through, the slippery surface of wet glass presents additional risk. So a water-fed pole, telescopic brush and ladder are the traditional tools for cleaning a conservatory roof. But you should still be careful about where you rest the ladder and ensure that it is in a secure position.
Don't use too much soap
Although pure mineral water (like what we use) is best for conservatory cleaning in Tunbridge Wells, you can get away with using soap as long as you rinse it off with clean water or a jet wash afterwards. But keep in mind that soapy, old-fashioned window cleaners can produce streaks, making the situation look even worse than it already is.
Do not overlook the gutters
Depending on how well you keep up the roof of your home and whether or not there are any nearby trees, gutter cleaning may be necessary more often than once or twice a year. So if the moss from an old roof was dropping off and filling the gutters all around the home and in the conservatory. This requires constant maintenance by cleaning.
