As above what do you guys use for internals, I try to avoid them as much as I can as I prefer to splash and dash as they say!
At the mo I'm just using my unger trad gear but keep seeing these pads with some sort of spray?
-
Mop and blade or the Unger pads on an extension pole.
-
If they are not overly dirty then the best & fastest method is a microfibre cloth and a spray bottle of pure water.

Sorry but a mop and blade is quicker imo :-\

if you cant clean interior then you aint a proper old fashioned windie :)
Mop and blade , best way
-
i can trad them no problem, its quite simple but im just wondering if these pad things with sprays are any better?
i also find using a ever so slightly moist unger micro to give them a quick wipe then come back when they almost dry and shine them up with a scrim works well, for me the trick is not getting the window too wet, less is more i find!

Anyone tried these kits?

Spray bottle of water and bit of washing up liquid and blade , Using spray bottle is just as quick and no risk of drips or messing on with a bucket of water . Mike

Never heard of a ladder? ;D

Iv tried a number of different mop systems and to be honest have never been totally happy with
the results.
Its very hard to get a smear free finish with any of them.
But like any piece of equipment there will be times when you will have no other choice but to use it.
High interior windows where your not allowed to use a ladder or spill water is one example.
Just don't buy a dragonfly its an overpriced waste of money in my opinion.

I'm with Sean all the way with this one, none of the indoor kit can do it all in one hit, you need to price accordingly and take the extra time
These hadn't been cleaned in 4 years, they were mopped bladed, microfibred, then easy shined to get a finish.

I had one at a similar height. I mopped and bladed with an SLX, no ladders allowed and they were dreadful. ;D I was going to tell them that the only way to do a good job was with ladders, but perhaps just a microfibre after would do it? It was the first I had ever done at height. Controlling a blade at that height must be possible - just not by me.

Off topic here, but Smudger is that you or one of your guys and is that a uniform you wear, year round? I ask as I'm having some appearance issues with the guy I employ and am implementing a full uniform. It's as the person in your pic is, black all over including footwear.
