one of my customers has just replaced some windows with self cleaning glass. turned up today and she had been told that they must not be brushed because of special coating. Has anyone else come across and what did you do. The windows were rotten

[gavin pedley]

Sounds like an elaborate excuse to drop you!

done these before wfp and turned out fine, custy was told by pilkington glass that iff she wanted to clean them to use wfp purified water. funny that them giving advice on how to clean a window thats supposed to clean itself.

wfp will b fine,but never use a scraper to remove bird  muck,as it will damage the coating on the glass,as one of my friends (trad buy the way) found out to his cost,infact he,s been done by the house owners insurance company to the tune of £3000 ahhhhhhh

We used to clean a glazing showroom and one of the windows at the entrance had a sticker on it saying this window hasnt been cleaned for 6 months .... funny that cos we turned up every 4 weeks and cleaned it !!

not sure if its the same but i came acros a house with" low e  glass" , these were brand new and  i cleaned them trad.they at first were a devil to clean,as if the surface had a badly applied layer of varnish on them and i was tempted to never go back .  a squeegee alone never made them look right and i had to buff with a scrim to make good. Since that time ive had less of a problem but still dust the complete glass with a scrim. the glass looks as though its a very dark tint as you walk towards but it isnt tinted .

its just a window clean it! the only differnce i find is that bird poo doesnt stick so much but not much difference in it really

[Mike #1]

all of the above i have a custy with self clean glass their windows get just as dirty as next doors neighbours who dont have self clean

[Richard Neal]

I did a clean for a long standing custy yesterday who has a new conny with the self cleaning glass fitted, he told me the salemen said "as its self cleaning you only need to wash it with pure water or a mild detergent like washing up liquid". That sounds like every other window i clean!
Cost them a fortune as well.

self cleaning glass still needs cleaning by a window cleaner had a new customer last month very disappointed with theirs splatted with bird mess that needed scraping off .

DON`T use a scraper on self cleaning glass! 

[Londoner]

Its a very thin non stick coating, same as on a frying pan. But like the coating on a pan it will either scratch or mark if mistreated.

Used to fit windows and conservatries with this pooe in.A load of rubbish,As said just be careful of the film on it,dont scrape or use solvents.
