Doing inside cleans
« on: May 26, 2012, 12:10:23 pm »

Do any of you do inside cleans? Just wondering what method best to use when doing them, had a couple customers this week say they might want them done.

Ah so trad the insides is the way, tbh the first thing that came to mind was a bottle of mr muscle!

I dont even have any trad tools  :P So just going to order some now!

What way do you price the insides? is it just twice the rate the norm

Don't order trad gear.  If it's occasional, then:

Take one plant sprayer half full of pure water
Add two or three (max) drops of Fairy - when shaken should give you at most 1/4" of foaming.  If you get more foam, dilute the mix.
Take one good microfibre - the ones at the top of http://tinyurl.com/cx7z5eu are perfect; get a minimum of ten:
Spray window, wipe off with microfibre.
Replace microfibres as they get wet (damp is OK)
That's it.

Thanks to Dazmond for this tip.  Works every time and gives outstanding results.

I double the rate for outside when I do interior glass - if they're georgian small panes even higher.
Most are cleand by traditional, but I will use my Vikan/dragonfly kit on some.
