£3.65 + vat for 500ml

£15.25+vat for 5 ltr

These are from window cleaning warehouse and p&p on top.
You don't need a lot just a squirt so lasts ages.
I decant it into a fairy bottle for ease of use.

I like good old fairy, tried gg4 and didn't get on with it.  Agree with all that tosh said.  As for making the window attract dirt, thats great it gets rid of the not today thankyous.  I'd like it if the wfp windows got dirty faster to be honest, going back to clean clean windows doesn't seen challenging.  It does leave a film behind, but the windows look good, however if you are thinking of switching to wfp in the near future then I wouldn't touch it.

Im with Tosh. Ive tried others but came back to Fairy. I like some suds, just not too many. I've never seen this film that people refer to in fifteen years of cleaning, even in direct sunlight.

 For any of my trad work I use a 5 ltr tub of cheap washing up liquid not as thick as fairy £1.80 from my local shop, pour it into a 1 ltr bottle 2/3 and top up with white distilled vinegar works a treat see them windows shine wouldn't use anythingelse now

you cant see it thats why, but trust me it is there, try this and you will see, get a new applicator fresh water no fairy and wash the window you will find the fairy that you have been using before will still make the suds. I used fairy for donkeys years then changed to gg4 because IMO it is better and leaves windows cleaner for longer meaning less work for us to do.
I cant knock people that use fairy because I did the reason I changed was above I know clean wfp and the window cleaners that leave fairy film when they stop cleaning for what ever reason I have to wash off and can be a nightmare sometimes.

If you are thinking of going to wfp I would for sure change to gg3 or 4 to make life easier in the change over if you are not thinking of it fairy is fine, just does not sound professional IMO if asked what you use in your water.

thats my take on it anyway

I tried gg3 or 4. Cant remember which. It was much more expensive and there was no suds whatsoever meaning I'd get runs coming out from the edges and would have to wipe the sides. I didnt add anything else because I'm not into making potions. I ended up giving away something like 4 litres to another cleaner. Personally i thought it was crap and went back to fairy.

good thing about fairy is you can get several different fragrences !  so not only is easier to squeggee off but you can at the same time inhale the luxurious scent of rose garden in summer . ;D
