Ive cleaned this bad boy once before traditional, and it was a nightmare. Took 2 of us 8 hours.
Old wooden georgen windows, with the paint flakeing off ruining rubber after rubber after rubber! You know the ones. Well, the house keeper after 2 years has just phoned me, and I have booked it in for next week. The windows havent been cleaned since I last done them.
 
Ive told her that im only using WFP from now on and thats the method ill be using.

My question is... as the frames are in such bad condition, am i gonna cause more damage using the brush?

Also, whats advice have you got for me cleaning gerogian windows in genral? Do you clean the panes in rows?

When do you rinse etc?

1. Check the paint for milking
2. It probably with take off the flaky paint.
3. The flaky paint will be on the brush and drive you mad.
4. Try and get her on a regular clean!

Thanks for the reply Will.

im no expert but my advice would be to expect every window to run (and rinse accordingly) and just count yourself lucky if they dont

I had a similar enquiry today for a house that we clean (£180 aswell) but as you are ~200 miles away I doubt it's the same house

£180 is ridiculous for 2 men on a house taking 8 hours

If this is the first wfp clean it will show up any leaks.

The paint on the windows will have oxidised over the years, and this will be the main trouble.

I would wash the whole thing twice. First clean would be a thorough scrub down with tfr and tap water.

Stop for lunch, to let the windows drip.

Follow up with a second light brush and rinse with pure.

I would be most concerned about leaks.

leave your mate at home.

Pretty much what he said, just leave the TFR out. You'll make a rod for your own back in that case. There'll be enough old detergent on there without adding any more that needs removing.

I would clean the lot with one brush, then swop to another for glass and rinse.

just because they are old does not mean the paint will oxidize, have cleaned some hanging jobs and they come up fine.

I defo would not use tfr on knackered frames one it is pointless and two it will add to any probelms you may have.

clean the lot then glass only.

prey the water sheets.

have fun

ditch it and get some nice easy access new upvc jobs all in a line - why struggle on an under priced, ball ache of an irregular job....
