Anyone know how to clean leaded windows?.

The outside I do with my wfp system which come up great but I need to do the inside, anyone got any ideas.

[thewindowcleaner1]

Johnsons glass spray a rubber glove and a lint free cloth will do the job double the price though for doing the inside  e.g. external glass clean £20  internal clean £40

Or if you really don’t want to do it, just explain that your insurance does not cover internal cleaning

Many Thanks Glynn

Also while your online

The powerpole that you do

Can it work on a normal wfp system or do I need to upgrade?

Can I start off with some sections first and then add further sections if I need to go higher?

Also what does it do, compared to other poles?

Two well rung out scrim still slightly damp .
first one slightly damper than the other.
dampest one first clean until you can see most of the dirt come off
then polish up with the second one remembering the first scrim is doing most of the work.

easy when you know how .i got told this off an old timer when i first started,you could also substitute the first scrim with a leather mop. dry scrim can leave hairs. i have tried other methods but you cant beat the old ways.

2 scrims will do the job one has 2 b dry (and both very clean) 1 damp wash the window down and dry horizontal or visa versa, put 2 fingers in the srim then line your leads. gets you pumping but good for the heart.

[Moderator David@stives]

I disagree .
one does not need to be dry  at all  the second scrim should be wrung out as hard as you possibley can then cracked until it starts making a cracking noise . just ask any old timer they will tell you the very same .this was a tried and proven method for at least 100 years .
the art of scrimming is beginning to die as not many people know how to use them properly.

Too much bother... Just use Tesco's own window spray (about 85p), and mist and buff.
No need for anything more complicated, and it leaves almost a polished shine.
All my customers have been impressed since I started using it.

Don't think that more expensive means better- not in this case.

Two bits of scrim one damp and one dry or slightly damp scrim both work very well.
Tried microfibre didn't like it.

one damp scrim and one dry micro fibre, been doing plenty for 17 yrs and have it cracked, but mind you if a certain article in a certain magazine is to be believed, 2 window cleaners died of lead poisoning in ireland supposedly from cleaning leads. The lead gets in through the skin! im going to get a blood test i do think! memory loss is a symptom. Whats my name? whats this website? what job do i do? scrim???
