Most of my work is along the coast near Brighton and this last month has sometimes been a nightmare of constantly cleaning salt off windows.
It's not so bad wfp except it takes longer as you need scrub more especially around the top of the frame then plenty of extra rinsing but for the shops, etc, I do trad, I cannot in 12 years remember anything like it.
I did 4 shops this morning on the coast road where you could scrap the salt off with your finger nails and it was so thick you actually couldn't see through the windows. 2 hours later, and they looked like they hadn't been done. Even the shops I do about inland have still had salt on the windows although not as bad.
For anyone who hasn't cleaned salt off windows, it's a bitch. It smears very easily. Touch a cloth onto a window that's got salt on the cloth from the last bit of glass and it smears. You try and wipe the smear off and it makes it worse.
Some houses I've done wfp, the first brush along the top of the frame and the water running off down the frame is brown and a bit like watery sludge.
Has anyone else who works along the coast found this last month has been one long round of salty windows but much, much, much worse than usual?
