No, not a thread on teeth... How do you clean the roof glass of your conservatory? I have been climbing up on the ribs to do this but it gets rather slippery once they get wet and the strain on the thighs is immense. Short of buying a sky hook ;) I am not sure how to do this.

Does anyone have a cost effective solution?

Thanks for this our conservatory roof is filthy and has been annoying me since we moved in. :roll:

The inside of ours is covered in fingerprints from when the builders put it up, any suggestions for this as I know its going to be back breaking this one.:D

Erm you fancy coming out for a cup of tea......bring your rubber gloves and newspaper ;) The view of the loch must be superb from half way up our conservatory if you fancy :lol:

What about the Groat ( its the only paper I regularly buy ) the ink comes off it if you touch it might make them worse !!

Hmmm, nice idea but my OH always steps back to 'inspect' how I am doing! I wouldn't trust her with my life. :lol:

BTW, when I was a kid I got sent for a bubble for a spirit level - bought one too. He didn't know that you can buy them from a good ironmongers.
