Title: do you use hot water all year round?
Post by: dazmond on January 13, 2014, 10:22:26 pm
im loving the hot water window cleaning fellow windys! :D

ive been using hot for a few months now and its fantastic on first cleans and add on jobs.i dont notice much of a difference on regular maintenance cleans but having warm supple hose is a real bonus IMO.

im spending around £50 a month on gas.i can live with that.

do some of you guys use it all year round?


im just wondering what its like to use on a hot sunny day with baked on birdmuck etc.is it faster at cleaning it off?


regards

Yup, 3rd year being hot all the time.
Its brilliant Daz!
Yes, quicker on air strikes. Quicker all round.
What i do like is, if you've got a few houses in a row, clean them all then collect them all, when you go back to collect, they are dry!

All year round for me , have done for the last 5-6 years.
As ive said mamy times before, i think hot is more usefull in the summer than the winter.
In winter i find glass is just dirty, in the summer you you get more fly, bee spots, spiders poo and baked on bird poo.
You can turn up the heat in the summer which means a cleaning benifit, not just nicer to have warm water in the winter

Off topic, sorry. Why do some of you think bees poo on windows? I've yet to see bees trying to climb through a window to get into a house!  ;D Those little yellow spots you find on the glass are certain types of pollen. Some must think because it's yellow, it must be bee poo.

personally i would of thought hot water would of been more
of a practical use during the hotter months with things being
baked on.

intend to use hot for fascia cleans and con cleans from spring
onwards.

As for warm supple hoses ;D ;D ;D
