Rinsing on the glass
« on: November 15, 2012, 05:43:27 pm »
Hi

Can anyone explain what rinsing on the glass actually is please?

I cant seem to get my head round it, seems a huge leap of faith.

Any tips or techniques?

Thanks

Leave the brush on the glass (lightly) once you finish scrubbing to rinse

Thanks mate.

Im guessing you need to hit a few downward strokes & also a brush that dont pick up too much stuff?
Any recommendations on brushes?

Got to be honest i dont rinse on the glass unless im working at heights, i dont trust it for some reason!!

I know that the gardiner extreme white  and medium mixed are suitable for rinsing on....

Im sure a few of the boys that rinse on will give you some tips when they see the post ;D

Cheers mate.  I like to use a gardiner dual trim sill brush but that holds so much dirt sometimes i might have too look at another brush.

i rinse on and it is a lot easier on the neck and back ,after washing i start at the top and with a slow pass along the top to get a build up of water then with a side way action follow the water down  ,i use the gardiners medium duel brush

I rinse on with any brush to be honest, I thought it may be a problem with a dual trimmed SL but I tried it anyway and it just as good as any other brush I have used

same method as matthew

and bobplum no not really with a high water flow

probably could get away with the rinse but as i live near the coast and on most cleans there is a lot of salt and dust on windows feel that a rinse on all windows is a good safe gaurd,but depends on where your work is :)

It is as it sounds.  You just rinse the glass with the brush on it.  You need to be using a monofilament brush as the dirt sticks less to it.  I use fanjets.

Wash the glass and frames as normal, then rinse along the top of the glass with the brush against the glass.  Move brush head down the glass while moving it from left to right and back again (so a wide wavy line down the glass).

As for the leap of faith, do your own/neighbour's windows with it, let it dry and inspect.  You'll have perfect results and less tired shoulders.

I just go with a higher flow rate I don't think the dirt has much chance of staying on the glass. ;)
