I notice noone has mentioned this possibility, but it's a situation I'm left with after all the storms. In my area, the salted up windows from the rotten weather a couple of weeks ago, have started to bake on. I thought a good bit of rinsing would shift it, but noticed on one of my pubs. Looked like I hadn't touched it, just glad I'm still checking these newbie custies after the bad weather. Fortunately a good scrub shifted the mess, but it took a while. Since then have found a few more, feels like brushing over sandpaper on some, vaseline on others!!
It was always worst where water comes off an overhang nearby, like a low roof or badly fitted guttering.
Did 6 bungalows today, all baked on, dipped my brush in a TFR solution, came straight off and gleamed like new when dry.

I have had same problem today on a church's windows, upvc windows, quite large panes, went inside to do the internal windows, and after hopur or so noticed many of the windows had runs on them. These windows have always had a bit of a problem with this, but today, terrible. I reckon it is the salt they put on the roads when it is frosty.
I did hear that they were going to spray the salt with molases to make it sticky, so that it would stick to the road surface and not just be blown away after a couple of minutes. If that is the case, it could be that it is sticking to the windows more than normal.
I know when I was trad. it could be very difficult shifting the salt, used to hat this time of year for that.
 Anybody else heard this ?

Dunno if grease would either affect the TDS, as its not dissolved; or... could grease in the water by coating the probes render them unable to read an electrical current if it coated them, like an insulation really.


Anyway, brush looks fine, that wallpaper is horrendous  ;D

Mot much, really only when I've done a few first cleans or something like that.  Usually just let it dry out and give it a bashing.
But every now and then treat it to the full warm wash with a bit of soap and thorough rinse.  About once a month at most.
