Hi,

Not sure why it works but using warm/hot water reduces spotting on hot days.

Cheers.

Cheers PCM, I've got hot water but only use in extreme cold. I think the hot water drys quicker ?
Cheers Dannymack 👍

I dont understand why the windows would spot in hot weather? Your still rinsing dirty
From the windows... And if
Your water is under 005 like mine i never get
Spitting, except the odd window

Adam I don't understand pmsl !!!! All the home comes up nice, I even rinse a little more on the windows that face the sun, but for se reason they dry out rubbish. I'd rather just ladder that side so I know it's nice and clean. Mind you bloody knackered me out abit. Brought back old memories going up and down a ladder pmsl !!! 👍

On hot days i wet the glass down before scrubbing seems to do
the trick!

Or stick a squeegee on a pole and give basic drying...no need
for ladder ;D

To me they look quite old the windows. So I would say its upvc breaking down and causing spots.

Or ya just 💩 lol

G  Gary you need long pole sod that time I got to squeegee them they'd of dried out lol !!!! The building is about 10 years old so the upvc frames ain't that old H20. Yes they do have vents cleancare but I gave them a good washing out and and just Wizz around the whole lot. Only seem to spot on these side windows where the sun shines in them. It happens to another job we do but it's only first floor high so use a long pole a squeegee water off. 👍
Daz like I say it's not all the windows just them side ones and all frames and vents are clean as I cleaned them out and just give a quick Wizz around them. Gotta be where the windows get hot and sun drying them out to quick I'm guessing !!!tds around 001
H20 then again you could be right I'm probably crap at window cleaning bloody need to change me job lol !!! 👳😳

i dont know how you use an A frame ladder at that height,    an extension with a stand off,  lifes too short.

what are you going to do when it is HOT, when summer does come.

I am surprised they let you ladder them at that height.
I do work for two different care home company's and they have banned the use of ladders completely on all their sites,the ones I do are very strict on health and safety.
