Glue on windows
« on: July 12, 2021, 08:47:24 pm »
Hi all,

I have a external window clean coming up. The customer has informed me that the windows are new and have glue/sticky stuff on. Will the wfp clean this or will I need to get on a ladder and wipe it off with a glue remover.

Will Ubix/screw fix degreaser remove this if I spray on my brush?

Many thanks

Perfect answer splash
Never argue with an idiot, they will only bring you down to their level, and beat you with experience

have you not looked at the job before giving a price?i never take a new job on or agree a price without seeing it first to check out access,state of windows and frames and parking situation.....
price higher/work harder!

I personally  won't touch  glue remove stickers  what so ever I always tell the customer  there's a chance  of scratching the glass soon puts them off  also I can't  be arrrsed fannnying about.but if you do   alcohol based hand gel works used it to remove a price tag

I was in a similar situation and told the same thing to a few of our clients and I believe that is the best course of action.
To be honest I think it wouldn't be bad to be included in the services information in a website.
