wet&dry
« on: April 06, 2005, 03:59:39 pm »
Hi, been window cleaning with a guy for 18months now, he just wring's scrim out but this kills hands(what a baby) i know started spraying scrim with trigger spray bottle works quite well.
Does anyone have any other methods wet & dry
how does this work, leather etc.
is there a chance your wet a window and forget to dry with scrim especially on georgain window?
Do you always wring a scim in water without detergent?
as it gets too soapy no good.
any tips please. lee_dewing@hotmail.co.uk

I use mine on three x three bedroom houses,or until damp all over then change it for a clean one or a  used dry one. I dry them on my van wingmirrors, but dont forget to remove them before you drive off
IM AT THAT AGE MY BACK GOES OUT MORE THAN I DO

For georgian windows I used to have a damp cloth in left hand and dry scrim in right hand, touch them together and then clean window with slightly damp scrim.
 Worked well aslong as windows were not too dirty.
Now I use a small squeegie and damp microfibre for georgians that I dont wfp.

Invest in microfiber cloth,

Put a small drop of Ettore Squeege Off into a spray bottle, spray on window and wipe with microfibre.
I dont know how it works but it is like magic.

Iv'e been Window cleaning 20 years and never come across anything so good!!

I heard that before with ettore and a spray bottle - I'll give that a go.

At present we use nilsglass (glass cleaner in a spray bottle) which to me seems to do a good job.

We used to use any window cleaning spray, diluted by half.

Since we use Ettore in the bucket it works out cheaper to put a dab of liquid in a spray bottle.

Personally I think its better.
