I can honestly say no matter what brush ive used or how hard I scrub I can't remove the little yellow spots, unless I pick em off with my finger nail.

When I do trad on lowers they come off easily enough.

Is it the brushes or something I'm not doing right?

Guys whats your experiences of this?

you may need a brush with more scrubbing power i use a gardiners dual-trim unflocked found to be the best

[steven ainger]

i use gardiners d/t flocked brush with hot, works for me. still can be difficult though.

[johns window kleen]

Ive got the 3 & 5 section unger poles, with the green brick brush on them , and a 3 section extel with red monofilament brush.

I cant shift pollen with either, and I don't honestly know what brush is the best, although I normally use the extel cos of the weight differential.

Im pleased Im not the only one who seems to have trouble with pollen.

oh my god how annoying are them spots, and i use the gardiners pole and it doesnt get it off so i too use my nail lol

[dazmond]

i have quite a few customers that have a lot of pollen on windows at this time of year.TRAD works every time.{fairy,mop and squeegy}.so if i go WFP ill have to TRAD sometimes? .why dont u use a mop on a TRAD pole THEN WFP?only a suggestion ;)javascript:replaceText('%20;)',%20document.postmodify.message);

The best way to remove these spot's is to, brush and let soak for a while then they come off easily.

Best way of removing any spots or crap from windows is go trad

Not in my experience with pollen.

[Mike #1]

a mastered technique is all that is needed we all have our own ways with wfp i would agree about  pre-soaking works for me

[Alex Gardiner]

Pollen has to be the hardest 'natural' deposit that we come across. Fortunately as bees fly low it usually only affect lower windows.

I have found that a flocked brush is best for removing these, but even with this it needs a soak and a scrub. Therefore if it is low level I use my thumbnail! saves time.

You sure its not fly poop

[C.C.S.]

how would you see them on the first of 3rd floor?they are small and hard to see from the ground.did a job today wfp ,was first time and got the ladder out to see the results and i was amazed how many pollen spots they where and not one that i could see from the ground

I clean windows in an area where someone keeps bees and a few houses are full of these, particularly the upstairs windows.

Soaking and coming back to scrub again is not that effective and on the upstairs windows I have to use the stock of the brush as a scraper. Even after a soak, a double brush and scrape they are still hard to remove and I am sure I do not see or shift all of them. I use Gardiners sl brush.

Think hot wfp probably best solution but putting this off till next van.

Tel it's definately Pollen.

 Fly poop is white, small and bumpy,  and I hardly ever see it unless i'm doing the insides of houses, especially conservatories, where the flys are trapped.

I'm no expert but I cant really see a fly opting  to have a dump on the outside of a window if its not trapped!!!

Good link Wally, although the ones I encounter do not look that big at all, they are sometimes as small as a speck.
