you need to scrub all the white water off the frames and then rinse really well.. or try not to touch the frames in future?

i just give them a really good rinse and then they seem to be ok

There are some frames that are too far gone, they will just keep milking and running no matter what you try to do.

Had it last week on 3 apartment blocks, so cleaned them by hand to honour my quotation then immediately told them, that either get them painted to stop this, or we would clean them traditionally and increase the cost by almost 3 times.
