Title: Dry brushing
Post by: * mike RH on October 20, 2007, 10:38:17 am
I had a first time clean yesterday.

Windows hadn't been done in about 4 months. More dusty than anything.

I thought I'd try using a dry brush to brush off the most of the dirt and spiders webs before using the pure water brush.

My reasoning was that once you get the water on dirty windows it turns black and sludgy and makes more mess down the walls, you get spiders webs in the brush which ends up losing you time,
and you waste pure water.

Anway didn't take long just to give them a quick dust, get rid of spiders webs and the cleaning of the windows afterwards was easier. I 'd say I gained back the time spent dry brushing.

Just wondered if anyone else has tried this?

(Obviously the brush has to be REALLY DRY  to dust the windows)

My experience of using a brush when dry is that if anything hard is on the brush like grit, you will scratch the glass more easily.
