Post by: Steve CM on October 16, 2008, 01:46:52 pm

just had a customer say that the WFP system is leaving a swirly residue on his windows. anyone heard of it? i haven't and wouldn't of thought it possible. I'm going out in the morning to have a look but in the meantime any ideas?

New custy? Long time clean?

"Brush marks" can often be just condensation in between the panes of a damaged sealed unit which shows up this time of year due to air temperature differential on each side of the window.

i think he was leds on the back and normal wooden frame DG units on the front

Yes, could something your brush is comming into contact with, be 'contaminating' the glass?

And this wouldn't be the office I lost to OCS, though I'm still contracted to clean the insides; which reduced a £100 job down to £40 for me?

I've been opening the windows and smearing vaseline on the exterior of the 1st floor frames, just to mess my competition about.
