Buy a conservatory cleaning system from us here at H&G Promotions Ltd and make life easy. The best way to keep that conservatory sparkling is to clean it regularly, and we have the ideal solution to help you do this. Our water-fed conservatory cleaning pole makes short work of dirty glass and frames. With the minimum effort you can leave panels gleaming and glazed areas spotless, what better way to enjoy your conservatory each and every season?

To assist you, here are some tips to help you clean your conservatory with confidence. Do this for unbelievable results.   

Clear gutters and drainpipes - If you have a sturdy stepladder, make sure it’s stable and climb up it to remove debris from your conservatory’s guttering. Leaves, mulch and plant materials have a habit of accumulating inside the gutter and this will need a thorough clean before you tackle anything else. Blocked gutters often create problems and water has trouble draining away. A thorough clean around the gutters will keep water moving freely and leave your gutters in perfect condition.

Clean the roof of the conservatory – Next clean the roof of the conservatory using the water fed system. This is easy thanks to the strong rigidity of the cleaning poles which make short work of dirt, grime and heavy staining. You can do this from ground level without the need of a stepladder, and the head of the cleaner gives good pressure, so cleaning is quick and efficient.    

Wash the sides and wipe the framework down – Next, focus your attention on the glass at the side of the conservatory. Give this a detailed clean and don’t neglect the framework either which can easily be cleaned with warm water and a soapy detergent.

Once you have finished the outside, consider cleaning the inside of your conservatory, and should you require water fed cleaning systems, don’t hesitate to contact us here at H & Promotions Ltd. You can call us on 01299 288371. 

Water fed conservatory cleaning equipment is very easy to use and leaves glass sparkling, but did you know you can use it to clean other items apart from your conservatory? Not only will it keep your conservatory nice and clean, you can also use the equipment on the following objects as well. 

Solar Panels - Energy savings solar panels harvest the sun’s rays and convert light into energy which can be used to power the home.  Exposed to the elements, a film of dirt often covers the panels but this can be washed off with conservatory cleaning equipment.

Greenhouses - Clean your greenhouse quickly and efficiently using conservatory cleaning equipment. You can wash every single pane and remove dirt, grime and bird droppings with very little effort and to the highest possible standards.  

Poly Tunnels - If you like to grow your own but hate it when your poly tunnel gets dirty, give it a quick clean with conservatory cleaning equipment. It’s perfect for poly tunnels and you can use the equipment to keep the tunnel clean and hygienic.  

Swimming Pool Cover - Outdoor pool covers are at the mercy of Mother Nature and can quickly start to look shabby once they become dirty and covered with garden debris. A quick clean with conservatory cleaning equipment will soon have your pool cover looking like new.

UPVC Cladding - PVC wall cladding, soffits and fascia boards can also be cleaned with conservatory cleaning equipment. A quick cleanse removes surface dirt and restores the pristine white appearance of UPVC products, leaving the plastic spotless afterwards.

Spraying a fruit tree with a general-purpose fungicide is the easiest way to deal with pests and diseases. Apple trees, for example, can suffer from any of these common nuisances if they haven’t received a liquid treatment.   

Apple Canker -This is a disease caused by a fungus in the bark of the tree.  The main symptoms of this condition are round and sometimes oval areas of dead bark that are sunken and recessed. The fruit on the tree is sometimes attacked and can rot or fall from the branches. The best treatment is to cut away the affected areas removing all dead wood until healthy tissue is exposed, then treat with wound paint afterwards.    

Apple Scab - Visible as dark marks on the skin of the fruit or olive spots on leaves, apple scab is caused by a unique fungus that can sometimes cause the fruits to crack and spoil. Although light scabbing doesn’t affect the quality of the fruit, it can have a serious impact on commercial apple growers who might struggle to sell the fruit. Treatment includes pruning affected shoots, removing dead leaves and infected fruit.      

Brown Rot - This is another fungal disease which manifests itself as a brown, spreading rot covering the fruit. Typically, the rot spreads outwards from wounds in the fruit and apples sometimes remain hanging in a mummified condition. Chemical and non-chemical treatments are used to control and stop the spread of the rot.

Honey Fungus - The scientific name for honey fungus is Armillaria and symptoms include root decay and white fungus between the bark and wood of the tree at ground level. Honey coloured toadstools often appear on infected stumps during the autumn and although there are no chemical remedies for the condition, non-chemical treatments include excavating and destroying infected roots and stumps.   

Poor Fruiting - If your tree or bush fails to produce a good crop of fruit it can be classified as unproductive. Poor crops can be attributed to many things including birds eating the flowers, improper pruning, poor growing conditions, lack of pollinating partner or apple cultivator, frost damage, and poor weather during flowering which affects the activity of pollinating insects.  

If you want to prevent these symptoms and control insects, pests or fungal disease, buy a tree and fruit bush spray system from us here at H & Promotions Ltd or contact us for more information.  You can call today on 01299 288375 to speak to us about any of our products.  

They nip and they snip, cutting branches and deadwood with ease. Are you totally confident you know how to use secateurs safely, though, and can you assertively say you are using them in the right way? Secateurs are critical if you want to prune plants effectively. Here we tell you how to use them in the best way whilst staying safe at the same time.           

Get the stem positioning right - Before you cut a stem always ensure the cutting edges of the secateurs are in the ideal position. Aim to position the stem deep into the cutting edges of the tool and make sure the branch is fully inserted into the pruners before you make a cut.

Open and close the blades fully - Never try to snip away at stems like you are using a pair of scissors. This will simply lead to excessive hand stress and there’s every possibility you will dull the blade of the snips by doing this. Open the blade fully, position the stem correctly, and make a positive snip.

Use the correct hand position - When you are pruning a lot of plants this can lead to soreness and hand fatigue. To prevent this, use the bases of your fingers and the ball of your hand to squeeze the handles of the secateurs and get the maximum amount of leverage possible. 

Watch what you cut - Always pay close attention when you are using a set of secateurs. Pay extra attention if you have used metal ties to keep branches tucked away nice and neat. Cut through these and you could cause damage to the secateurs. Avoid this basic mistake at all costs. 

Clean and sharpen your secateurs - After use, wipe the blades of the secateurs clean. If there is dirt engrained on the metal, use warm soapy water and a small stiff brush to clean away the grime, or get rid of plant sap with a quantity of steel wool.  Sharpen the blades of the cutters regularly too. This will keep your secateurs in perfect working order.   

Follow this advice to use your secateurs safely.  If you need a new set of loppers or pruners, all you have to do is contact us here at H&G Promotions Ltd to place your order, or call 01299 288372 today.
