Title: spotting?
Post by: Davew on February 07, 2007, 07:46:05 pm

Did a couple of first cleans today and went back to collect-luckily they were both out because I can see spots on the glass. Is this common? I gave both houses a really good clean frames and all. Did all the frames first with panes too then went back around and did panes only and really rinsed well. Just hope it snows tonight!

Ok - a few Q's.

How long since they were last cleaned?
What was used to clean them?
What type of frames have they got?

This will help us to ascertain your problem.

First one looked really clean anyway. The second house was minging clean glass but filthy frames al upvc.
Just occured to me though maybe the problem could be that I haven't rinsed the frames enough before the glass perhaps.

Hi
    Clean the frames first, then go back and clean the glass, the water should have left the frames, so no run offs,  also try not to get any water into any vents on the frames i find they well leak water onto the glass and leave a mess, also make sure to rince well.   All the best  Michael D

Hi Dave,
don`t worry mate it will usually take a couple of cleans to get perfect results because of what has been used to clean them before,using pure water will start to steralise the glass to remove anything that has contaminated it and by keeping the frames clean aswell you are on to a winner  ;)
