Hi, i have some stained glass windows to clean but they are behind a grill which cannot be removed because its a heritage site.
the gap between the grill and glass is between 5 to 8 inches in places, is there an EXTRA long bristled brush on the market?
Or any other ideas to agitate the dirt then rinse with pure water? the grill is only around half an inch wide aswell?
Power washing is not an option either folks!
regards

Make your own brush up perhaps from a floor brush.?

As a last resort you could always get a pump sprayer with virosol and spray the windows, leave for a few minutes ( don't let it dry ) and then rinse off with pure.
That will take a lot of the dirt away, and with it being stained glass you won't notice the dirt that is left.

Just an idea

somebody else posted about this a couple of weeks back
If you connected it to your reel it would no doubt increase the pressure more than from brush jets ? whether it would be enough or too much, I have no idea ???
I've wanted to get one to try out, could be good for connies and fascias, apparently its in some asda stores ( but not near me )

hi lee......you might have to do by hand wet n dry.
if its an old heritage place you may find if you chuck loads of water on there it`ll leak through to the inside. the water runs through between the glass & lead.

Are you allowed to use WFP. I priced an English Heritage place up about 3 years ago, WFP wasn't allowed.

Unger do a very long bristled brush for solar panel cleaning (yellow bristles)
