buy a pack of 10 unger large green microfibres from the windowclean centre.you wont be disappointed!they are excellent quality and ive had mine about a year now and they are still as good as new!! ;) ;D ;D

absolutely miles better than scrim IMO.

I used scrim for 14 years but i will never go back to it now.


very best wishes

^ I haven't moved onto MF yet but after years of working with smelly scrim, I am looking forward to it, can't stand the stuff anymore.

Good quality microfibres work lovely, I've never used scrim but haven't missed it either.

Scrim as said takes a while to work at its best. As already said use them to wipe sills at first, and wash every night. Also when they start to get wet you can detail the window first, before squeegeeing it.
Also remember the more water you put on a small pane of glass, the more you have to wipe off.

Scrim takes a while to break in, but once it is it's better for detailing than microfibres IMHO
i agree. i tried to get on with microfibre but it wasnt for me.

I have just tried some microfibre cloths, they are top quality unger ones for glass (you can get thicker rougher ones for the sills etc) its important to get the right ones if you want to use them for just the glass, the cloth is much finer than normal microfibre. I only went for the smaller size, so any wet bit doeasnt dangle down onto the window - you can buy then in packs of ten if you want to.

I  will still be using my scrim to wipe down the upvc and sills etc and to wipe away most of the water round the edge of the window. For the finer detailing, just the bit that may be left on the edges of the glass, i just use these to wipe round the outside edge -  just finger width. I find they get rid of any slight bemishes on the glass, where the old scrim might leave a slight trail. Either way you have to keep them really dry and clean and just use them round the edges of the window/glass.
