Best advice mate is to brush and soak,go clean all other windows then come back to the one with birdmuck on,it should come off easy now ;)
I have heard of some glueing an abrasive pad to the edge of the brush,just swivel brush round,give it a scrub with the pad and off ya go.
Hope this helps
Pete ;)

The best tip I ever had off here, was to smack the muck with the brush.
Bring the ends of the bristles down on it a few times. It breaks it up A lot better than scrubbing. Dai

Duck tape is great stuff.  I wish they'd bring out Seagull tape and Pigeon tape and Starling tape! ;D

I've come up with a brilliant invention. I got the idea off a post from here with pics where he did a first clean on a upvc framed house that had green slime etc. He said he went up his ladder(this is a WFP man) and did the corners of the frames with his toothbrush.(My invention will also work for bird muck)
I've got to get the milk from the shop, but when I come back I will post a picture.

In the interval feel free to make sarcastic comments, but later when I post on this thread get ready to be astounded!

Was the shop out of stock for milk, Curious?

Or is it a long way away? ;D

Best advice by a mile.
A wee bit of patience is all that is needed,and of course some elbow grease to shift that last annoying bit that we all have to deal with:-)
