Hi all, I'm looking for a good quality solution to mix with water (like traffic) non toxic to plants. I am unable to climb ladders anymore. so my intention is to mix solution with water have a brush on a long pole to wash plastic leave on to work and wash off with brush and water! Concentrated please, thanks for your time, appreciated!!

I think you would have to put an awful lot of cleaner on a plant to do it serious damage and by the time you have rinsed it all off the strength of the solution would be negligible.
Here are two products which I know work well

If you don't fancy using these then any good cream cleaner from your local supermarket will do a decent job.

You haven't said what colour your PVC windows are, do not use the solvent cleaner if you have mahogany/rosewood/light oak foiled PVC, it'll take the colour out within half hour and you'll be left needing new windows, solvent is just for white

are you able to use a spray bottle from inside?
I would need to look but I have some stuff somewhere that you spray on, then hose off. ( better if wiped as well)
I may have got it from Dyas or Lakeland

There is nothing on the market that will work using that method, someone needs to get up the ladder and clean by hand to be effective.

Pay the window cleaner to do it! Should do it with a wet shammy!
