Title: pollen on windows
Post by: jeff evans on May 16, 2006, 08:28:58 pm: Hi all
Do most of my windows trad, so all obscure glass like bathroom windows i scrim.
Noticed over last 2 weeks that windows are full of pollen,scrim is green after a couple of windows.

Just wondered if any of you W.F.P People had found this detramental to W.F.P RESULTS.

Been window cleaning for 16 years and never known the pollen to be so bad as this year.

Cheers jeff.

I've had trouble with pollen and had a previous posting about it.

Some windows I have are particularly prone to the little hard yellow specks and even traditional cleaning its difficult to remove without resorting to scraper or thumbnail.

With wfp I'm finding many specks will come off after two or three soakings and vigorous brushing with the final effect not much different than with traditional.
For ground level I find scraping first then brushing and rinsing gives good results.

Hope thats useful,
Filllllll
