I noticed the water from the jets were hitting the bristles on my new unger sill brush, so i gave the bristle a trim so the water did not hit them.
Had no problem since.

hope this helps anyone out there with spotting

there are many many reasons for spotting mate. i suggest you go to the "Window Cleaning Issues" board and check out my recent threads!

and use the search facility! i found out loads looking through old topics!

let me know how you get on because this is a subject very close to my heart, as everyone on here alweady knows! ;D

best of luck

All the best

I have known of a problem similar to this with another cleaner. After leaving the house he cleaned, a neighbour started some building work creating a lot of dust.
This stuck to the beads of water that were left on the glass.
Make sure there is nothing to contaminate after you have left - dusty paths, even someone having a bonfire - smoke will spot your windows also. In such a case it is always a good idea to blade windows too.
