GG3 alternative?
« on: March 16, 2007, 01:08:53 pm »
As you know I'm wfp but I do blade insides and certain entrance ways on my round. On occasion in very cold weather/low water I will blade any window above a walkway or patio door.

I use GG3 with my wfp water so that when I use wfp on the same windows there is less chance of spots etc.

Is there a cheap alternative I could use that wouldn't give the suds/spots of washing up liquid?

Thanks for your help.
It's a game of three halves!

You could always use a window spray and squeegee that off, providing the windows are fairly clean to begin with.

That's what I do on some georgians.
There's less to mop up and it's quicker than washing it.

Lime Lite from Tesco. But I do add a bit of Ecover washing up liquid.

Fairy lq at £1 Co-Op own malt vingar at 49p. Mix

You dont need no fancy 3ggg. The old ladies always used vingar and newspaper realy does clean parkray glass. I never had any complaints and got a good reputation,

but get mix right.

I only ever use newspaper and vinegar. But you will need to use a braodsheet paper, not a red top. And be sure to use Malt vinegar. I have some old bed sheets for wiping the sills. ;D

Malc,

       Give Lime Lite a go. It`s fairly cheap and available at Tesco.
      It`s a limescale remover but also gets rid of soap scum and slows the build up of dirt so I would think it would be ok for future wfp cleans.
      I`ve been on my 2nd cleans today since I first used it and they were much easier than usual despite strong winds again.
  I do add a some Ecover as well for a  few suds as I believe this doesn`t leave a residue.

                 Gerry.
