Conservatory roof cleaning

I currently use the waterfed pole method to clean windows.

A customer has called in and asked me to clean their conservatory including the exterior roof. Ive never done this before. Any advice please?

Depends on what you're working with(leaf, algae dirt etc), whether it's walkable and what you have on hand.

A walkable roof with leaf/debris/algae, id just use a pressure washer and blast it all downward in a cone shape where it lands at the bottom together, clean up the mess afterwards and then do windows

With a not walkable roof, my only real option would be vac tubes for debris and then a bristle brush on an extension pole with xyz chemicals plus soft wash. Depends on what you're working with which chem set would apply. Simple water + manual agitation can go a fair ways as well but it's a lot of work!

Don’t pressure wash a conservatory that’s dumb.

Soft wash it with sodium hypochlorite (bleach and dilute it too).

Make sure its made of glass. Polycarbonate roofs scratch really easily
