Hi folks ,which brush is best for this (I use gardiners)?
Just customers says that the vuelux windows not coming up great & she don't want me on roof doing it by hand as last window broke loads of tiles....

Extreme on a 90 degree gooseneck, loads of hot water.

Wish I could say that but nope ! Loads of trees nearby I think good bit of sap on them.

[Michael Peterson]

no way will you be able to remove sap without being up there, explain and then dump this house, sod climbing around on roofs

Ta Darren but just simple windie no hot water here just cold but pure !...did get up last yr & used a scraper when she was out but was nervous as saw few hairline scratches aft but I do find with good few velux that they come up just ok but not that deep clean...is it just me not scrubbing hard enough  

[Smudger]

Why not spin them around from inside - clean by hand first time then WFP from then on

I know what u mean Michael but in fairness she is 1 of the good custy she asks in way of can I sort it out as its their main living area ! But I may go back with different brush (any suggestions Alex ??) and show a willing to do a good job

This is why I like this forum !! Cheers Darren brilliant suggestion  simple & effective will go with this (I'm not b smart but why didn't I think of this,was trying to over complicate it !!)

Its to do with your rinse angle make sure the jets are pointing slightly down towards the bottom of
the velux so you push the dirt down as you rinse.
If you rinse straight on it pushes the dirt up above the rinse.
Also rinse on for the first few inches as not to wet the top frame as they tend to leave runs.

May get lambasted for it but why not use some chemical on your brush, proper scrub then rinse until no bubbles...

Yea think this is the best way first time.

Hi Shane, we supply many window cleaners with microcleaning hand pads and little waffle glass cloths which they use for cleaning Velux windows from the inside, just deep clean the outside panel first by wiping it with a slightly damp microcleaning pad this will remove any ingrained soils, then a quick wipe with a lightly damp waffle glass cloth and just polish off with a dry waffle cloth for a streak free finish, when cleaning the inside panel you just need to use a damp and a dry waffle cloth as the glass will be much easier to clean, this method is perfect when you are cleaning Velux windows from inside the premises as you wont have any drips or splashes.

It maybe mastic or other contaminants in which case you could always offer to go inside and clean it (they swing around 180 degrees).
