what to use has a dry cloth please ?
Dennis,
There's different techniques for cleaning windows. Some window cleaners only use two scrims per day. They have a wet and dry one.
But this is quite an advanced 'art'. I can't do it and I've been at it a couple of years.
All you need to do at your (our stage) is buy a load of scrims, say ten; cut them in half (there's no need to hem them - if you do that; you'll be ironing them next) so you've twenty.
Wash the window with your T-Bar - don't touch the top. Don't 'scrub' the window (unless it's dirty), just wet the bugger.
Squeegie best you can.
Use a dry scrim to mop up the edges and stuff you've missed.
When it's wet, change it for a dry one.
To protect your scrims, you can use cut up peices of bath towels to wipe the mess off sills.
If it's a warm day; dry the wet scrims by hanging them round the inside of your car!
At the end of the day; sling all your scrims in the washer for a quick wash and hang them to dry. You can tumble dry them; but I prefer them hung outside or on a radiator.
-----------------------
Note:
The 'two scrim method' is to:
Wash the window, not touching the top.
Scrim the sides with a wet scrim (if you've just started work; it'll soon be wet).
Squeegie carefully. (The difficult bit). No mess will be left at the top or sides.
Wipe the sill with a peice of bath towel.
No need to do anything else. The dry scrim is 'protected' and hardly used.
