Hi mate, regarding the waffle clothes - what is the difference between the blue and green ( apart from the colour ) please ?
morning Samson, the blue ones are 340gsm in weight, and the green ones are 370gsm in weight, its a hard one to call really as many guys prefer the 370gsm, but plenty of other guys prefer the lighter 340gsm cloths. happy cleaning Tadgh

Thanks Tadgh, I prefer the lighter ones, so will put an order in for probably 100 .

Hi tadgh
Feedback for the waffle cloths - both are great at cleaning and last longer than standard microfibres ( this is for internal window work ) we found the heavier grade had less static so picked up/left less particles on the glass but required an extra couple of wipes to get into the dirt.
The green lighter weight cloth shifted the dirt quicker and easier, but did have more static and failed to pick up tiny particles.
Both used on a school clean on the same size glass in the same room - will be setting up some ultra tests this week and get back to you on how that works

Might just wait for Smudge's reviews ;D

Just to share Darran, if you are cleaning internal glass which is really heavily soiled i would use one of the white microcleaning hand pads just dampened with water first as they will just eat through any soils and residues, then use the little waffle cloths to finish off. Tadgh

Wondered what they were for, just thought they were packaging, and threw them away :o

Hi Samson, the white microcleaning hand pads are the best tool ever for deep cleaning glass as they will eat through all types of soiling. Happy cleaning Tadgh

I don't use them, sorry don't like them, but another school clean Monday I'll get the lads to test them and report back

Hi Darran, try one at home on the kitchen sink, just use it damp with water and watch it eat through dried in tannin stains left from tea and coffee. Tadgh

How are people finding the oil remover?

Hi Radek, yes you are right for deep cleaning pvc surfaces in combination with your preferred cleaning solution they are excellent, i would rate microcleaning hand pads as one of the most important tools you could have for deep cleaning many types of hard surfaces, and now they are widely available from janitorial suppliers or you can pick them up in your local supermarket as magic eraser pads.

Good stuff for conservatory valeting which has been mentioned somewhere here.
Had a customer who asked me if I know anything that can clean window frames as nothing could clean them. Micro pads I gave her sorted it with a bit of cleaning solution. Happy customer who paid 5 euros for the sponges :)

Tadgh....the white hand pads are great for cleaning but tend to break up very easily, same with the mop pads.
Or is it just me being heavy handed.... :)

Hi John, the melamine hand and mop pads were developed for deep cleaning hard surfaces, they are sacrificial so as you use them yes they can break up or wear down very easily, hence they need to be treated with less pressure say than if you were using cellulose sponge hand or mop pads, i don't think there is any argument about the end results but i will admit it dose take time for people to get used to working with them more efficiently, i have come across many people who used to hate working with them because of your above mentioned reasons to actually swearing by them once they master all the features and benefits and their many uses. and i am sure John you will have noticed how popular they are becoming as there are now so many suppliers and retailers promoting them.

One 16inch melamine pad got me 250 euros, cost around 8 euros.

Hi Radek, yes they can be a great earner when used on certain deep cleaning tasks.
