Hot windows!!
« on: July 02, 2006, 02:39:23 pm »
Just picked up a kebab shop's window cleaning. It's not high so use a mop and squeegie off a pointer. Their kebab cooker, if that's the correct name for it, is right next to one of the windows and they have it on before I arrive. As a result the glass is so hot you can't touch it. Even having the squeegie right behind the sopping wet mop still leaves the glass steaming and marks on the glass when you've finished. And it's bloody hot to work there. I swear I lost a stone in weight last time I visited!!
And he won't turn the flipping thing off either.
Still, saves me a fortune on sun bed fees.   :-[

The thing you will have to be carefull of with red hot windows, is thermal shock! 
Ok in the summer when outside Temperatures are high, but come the winter, when you put cold water on the outside, and its red hot inside, you could crack the glass,

my advice would be to use warm/hot water, at least the risk of Thermal shock would be lower

Scrimit2 give's good advice, try to get there early in the morning.

I'd be more than happy to go early, but I have to do the insides too, and he doesn't get to the shop until he's ready to open up.

I guess I'll just use that one clean per week as my weight loss programme  ;)
