Insect droppings
« on: October 19, 2022, 01:16:59 pm »


Anyone else find using the WFP it doesn't seem to remove droppings or just general dirt at the bottom of the frames very well? Don't seem to have an issue anywhere else like rest of frames, glass, sills etc, just this part of the frame at the bottom of the glass, I use a mono dual trim brush from xline so can't understand why I'm having this problem? Any advice welcome as I'm a bit of a perfectionist and ifs doing my head in 😅

Just spray the brush with Ubik that will shift it being a perfectionist I take it you have hot water.

No mate just cold water, only usually use extra cleaner like ubik on "deep cleans" as i call them never really found the need to use extra stuff before on just regular maintenance cleans

That Ubik does the trick on most stuff m8 or a squeeze of Cif on a walnut pad for downstairs if it’s very stubborn.

I find spider poo leaves stains on some UPVC. We generally find that it's worse this time of the year. We clean as best we can, and the winter sun seems to bleach them away.

These stains are most noticeable in the lower corners of the window frame. If we look up to the top of the window, we usually find a spider's nest.

Yeah ive found it seems to be worse atm, im unsure whether to keep using ubik or anything tho without charging a bit extra cos obvs takes more time and more resources

It will all come off when the freezing weather arrives.

we do a farm that breeds prize bulls - there Conny faces the cow shed across the yard - its absolutely covered in those.

no need for hot water - Rubik or TFR sprayed on - quick scrub and good rinse and its gone.

Thanks everyone, just couldnt get my head round why its always on the bottom of the fram almost like the lip of the pvc at the bottom of the glass, sometimes it looks like it does it the pic sometimes its more faint and almost like just black grains gathering qt the bottom, 9/10 it comes off the bottom windoss with just a cloth and if it leaves a stain i let the sun bleach it, as im always quite reluctant to get any extra cleaner out if im not being paid extra
