Do you mean wooden painted frames where the paint has oxidised?

you need to really scrub and rinse like mad until water runs clear.you might still have a few problems though.another idea is to miss the top frame and do your best on the rest.if they are really dirty then this is not an option.

oxidised frames can be a nightmare but if you triple rinse and scrub the frames first and wait until they ve stopped dripping then just clean the glass you should be ok.

i hope you priced it up well as they take a lot longer to get up to scratch.once clean, subsequent cleans should be a lot faster as long as you miss the top frame!


good luck!

bit of a ball breaker, but why dont you do the frames, let them dry off a bit then do the glass on its own....?
Why don't you have a quick google before making stupid comments?

this is £200 , thought id do it in 4 hours, think its more like 6 to 8 now, think the best way is like you said give the frames a good scrub and go over glass again when dry

Probably powder coated metal frames. Clean as per an initial clean, rinse well over top pf frame with brush away from frame and let a good flow of water cascade down glass until milky effect runs clear, simple
