Title: To rinse or not to rinse? That is the question.
Post by: DG Cleaning on July 10, 2013, 12:39:40 pm

Just read another topic where folk mentioned they don't rinse and I'm interested to find out who doesn't.
I always rinse but if not rinsing still does a good job then it'd save a lot of time and water. ;D

I clean the windows thouroughly with a mono brush and don't normally rinse unless I have just cleaned a sill or sometimes I'll rinse conservatory's or porches if I see bits on them

carry out an experiment on your own windows
different techniques for different windows
compare the results


rinse dont rinse
hi flow lo flow
lots of scrubbing less scrubbing

Depends on the size of the window,  small windows a quick brush over is fine as the water is rinsing the window as you clean anyway. I've found that large windows and patio doors need a good rinse after they've been scrubbed though, just to make sure you get the crappy water all the way off the glass.
