What detergent do you use, when trad cleaning with pure?

Do you need less detergent?

I have heard it said that if you use pure water, you need little or no detergent?

Any comments?

Pure water has no slip I think only straight pullers would get away with useing only that unless you useing a pole that is ;D   Raises the question whether those who use gg3 are straight pullers ?

If you use pure water with your normal amount of 'Fairy' you'll have soap-suds everywhere.

For some reason, pure water soaps up extremely easily.

I remember being in Devon, (or was it Cornwall?) showering, and it took forever to wash the soap off my body.

Ross prefers pure-water for squeegie work, but I prefer my normal tap water.

Lately I've been using purified water in my bucket for interiors.
I put a little fairy liquid in, just enough to help the squeegee slip, probably about an eighth of normal amount, plus about 3 drops of GG4.  Works a treat.
Juggle around with the mixture until you get it right, remember:  Less is more.
