Title: Milky run
Post by: SB Cleaning on September 10, 2010, 02:48:45 pm
Hi all,
I have just been to a custys house for their second clean (WFP) and on one of the windows was a big milky run, now i scrubbed and scrubbed but it would not shift, so i assumed it was on the insides i told the custy and he said he would check later, i got a phone call later saying it was on the outside so i said i will come back tomorrow to sort it, what would this be and how can i shift it???
The custy was fine about it thankfully, i also know the windows which are UPVC are only 3 months old.
Any help hugely apreciated :)

Did the milky run happen as you were cleaning the windows?  Or was it there when you arrived?

I have just phoned the custy to say what time i would be coming to do it and he said its all fine he has scraped it off with his fingernail he said it was more like a sand/concrete ??? and i think he is putting it down to the new windows going in, i said i will still come out and go over it again but he said it was fine and see you next time!!

It was only that window on quite a big house the rest came up mint :)

Nice one  :)



What I was going to say was be really careful using a scraper at that height off a pole (in case you scratch window) especially if you weren't responsible for the mark...

It could be an old limescale mark, which is caused by there not being a "drip" above the window. So when it rains the water just washes down the window.
