Best PVC cleaner

Right someone on here must be a window fitter or even a PVC cleaner.
I'm just about to move house and where I'm going has white PVC gutters facias and windows, the old kid who was there before obviously never cleaned them and they are a bit grimmey with green stuff on them.
I want to give them a good clean to tidy the exterior up but what is the best stuff and technique if any to use. It's a fair height and I don't like scrubbing at the best of times let alone at a ladder.
Any advice greatly appreciated and accepted.

Thanks in advance Rob

The advise I was given was never use anything with ANY abrasive in it. Pledge polish was what we were told to use, but for that you need to be up there.
Can you get hold of a power washer or telescopic window brush?

Just pop into your nearest UPVC trade outlet and pick up some solvent cleaner and some paper roll.

Muc off for motorbike fairings is supposed to be belting stuff for conservatories. Just spray it on, wait and rinse.

They are usually based on an emulsion of Tangerine oil and should have no strong solvents, when sprayed it was a white milky appearance and be oily when you rub it over the surface.

My neiighbour just used his pressure washer, did a fine job with no chemicals in sight.
