Does anyone do it.? What's the best method.?
-
Step ladders, trad...
In this weather (very hot) id try doing it either first thing in the morning, otherwise it'll be like cleaning in a sauna
-
i find them a nightmare to do, step ladder is the way i do them, hardwork.
-
Yep as said step ladder and squeegee.
Do early morning or before the sun hits it!
Charge well as they are back breaking work especially if full of crap ;D
We just done this one last week, but as the house was empty I did I at 6am in the morning ;D

i dont like doing em so i dont! :)

Things to look out for, heavy smokers, heavy furniture and awkward blinds. They can all add significant extra time to the job.

Surely there's a price where you would like doing them? So why not quote it?

i just dont wanna do them!i often refuse any inside cleaning unless its a big posh domestic job and even then they have to be clean freaks where the insides windows are virtually spotless before i clean! ;D ;D

Two buckets hanging from the step ladder, one for damp little waffle glass cloths and damp microcleaning hand pads for deepcleaning any ingrained soils, second bucket for dry little waffle glass cloths.
If glass and frames are heavily soiled just use the damp microcleaning pads first to deep clean, then wipe over cleaned area with a damp little waffle cloth to absorb the loosened soils, polish off with a dry little waffle glass cloth for a perfect streak free finish on all glass and frames. This is a perfact method for inside connys while leaving no mess. these cloths are amazing and extremely durable and can be laundered up to 800 times. Just have the cloths hanging from the side of the bucket as one cloth becomes completely soiled just throw it into the empty bucket and take the next clean damp little waffle cloth from the side of the bucket, use same idea for the dry little waffle cloths as they become to wet just throw them into the empty bucket and take the next cloth from the side of the bucket. this method saves a fortune of downtime with having to change buckets of dirty water. About a dozen damp little waffle cloths hanging from one bucket and about eight dry little waffle cloths hanging from the side of the other bucket should do the complete interior of your average size conny, for larger ones just use more cloths.

The way I do these is have a spray bottle of pure water and squirt on roof,then I get an unger fixi clamp and put a microfibres cloth in it and put on a pole and this works a treat or instead of a spray bottle use a T bar scrubber and dip in a bucket of pure water and squeeze to remove excess water but I find best results if done in overcast conditions as doing in sunlight causes a lot more work,this way using pure water will not leave any soap streaks but be prepared to use a few microfibres cloths as they soon get wet and dirty depending on the size of the roof you are cleaning!

And keeps the doors open or you'll be buffing mist.
