HEALTH AND SAFETY NOW RECOMMEND THAT WINDOW CLEANERS ONLY USE SOAP ON A ROPE 

soap on a chuffin rope ha ha ha

Fairy liquid rots the rubber window seals and causes blown windows.   
The thin film it leaves on the glass also causes dirt particles to adhere to it. So i use a proprietary brand like gg3, designed for the job.

im happy with the dirt sticking to the fairy film left behind,my custy happy see me cuz there windows are dirty,unlike some custys who change the clean frequency cuz there windows dont get dirty as often now your using the correct product,why do yourself out of business  :

Do you have any experience or evidence to back that claim up?

just type ...will fairy liquid rot rubber (seals).........into google and read...............
the surfactants it contains does a loveley job of ensuring its salt content can slide down behind the rubber seal and do its job on the glass seals 
 Or just pop a bit of rubber in a little pot of fairy and leave it and see what it goes like for yourself.

only joking jackal!i used fairy for 15 years!im defo noticing windows staying cleaner for longer with wfp but i dont mind cleaning very slightly dirty windows!its easier and quicker!

wfp does a very good job now i clean the frames as well.my custies are paying me to keep them clean so they never get dirty not like when i was trad with fairy!!

my cheaper very compact work is 4 weekly but a lot of new work is 8 weekly at better prices.in winter sometimes its 5 or 6 weekly on monthly work due to short days/weather.


i very rarely get anyone asking for 8 weekly on my compact estate stuff.

Anyone tried T-525 from" buzil" ?
 Fairy liquid....I know ...is the basic for all w cleaners ...we use it here 2.

Thank you all 

We use Buzil 525 Window Master here in Germany now and again, It does a good job and smells lovely but Squeegee Off from Ettore is alot better value and does a great job too,

Still no evidence or experience from those posters to support the claim though.
In one they say "oil and grease does aswell" Well why do they use grease to install the rubber into the windows when they make them then??!!
And as for blowing the window seals,again thats nigh on impossible as the glass sits on packers,thus above the water,which incidently drains off through 2, inch wide drainage holes either end of the aperture.
What makes them blow is warm temps inside and freezing ones outside-constant expanding and shrinking over the years eventually shrinks the rubber seal between the 2 panes.Trust me a bit of fairy every 4 weeks wouldnt affect it at all,its a very very thick seal.

I for one will always use fairy.It will take more than a couple of anoraks on car forums worried about rust to put me off lol
