Spray a bit of tfr on it and it starts dissolving right away.

Alternatively
Hot water works a treat!

Or else, chemicals like Tfr diluted in a handy spray bottle in a pouch.

It’s a pain to do because it’s graft but the best thing you’ll ever use for this is bronze wool,Unless you’ve got hot water I do a house with a field right next to it full of cows and it attracts thousands of flies which make black spots all over the frames. If your trad bronze wool is excellent.

Hot water literally melts it off, one of the main plus points of using heated water for me ;D

Steel wool "0000" grade is more abrasive than bronze wool, the only thing is once rusted it will scratch the glass. I bought a huge bag of it for a tenner so its no bother to chuck it away after use, will last all year probably.

Be careful not use bronze/steel wool on tinted glass though, it will scratch.

just use some CIF......you can buy it from any supermarket if the frames are stained black......and a few magic sponges(melamine foam)

hot pure water WILL NOT remove staining on frames caused by fly poo,spiders mess.......virosol also will not touch it.....

i hope your charging extra for the deep clean.....
