I thought you would have just dipped it in hot water.

Wednesday morning. 7:30 poled seven windows which promptly froze. My thoughts were they only froze after rinsing so most of the nasties have gone and will fall from the window as they thaw.

French door entrance. Can't pole in case somebody slips so out with BOAB. Soap up both glass panes ready to squeegee. Both frozen solid within seconds. A fantastic (new but seemingly very old technique developed to clear the glass), breathe then buff  :-\

Took longer than hoped but it worked  :D
hope this dosent happen in the morning working in harrogate one of the coldist spots round here at 6am so i hope it dosent happen as they are big shop windows
