Title: not convinced
Post by: leander on March 06, 2005, 11:48:10 pm

I would like to invest in a wfp but i'm not convinced it will remove stuff that I am currently using a scraper for (i.e. dried on bird lime) etc.

It isn't as quick as a scraper, but it does get it off, if you notice it, just wet it and clean a couple of other windows before going back to it. You can also tip the brush onto its edge and use the plastic part of the brush to give it a bit of a scrape if there is a particularly stubborn bit of poo :)
Also, it isn't as if this is something you are going to find on every window either.

I've been going close to 12 months now with WFP, and I honestly can't recall having had a problem with bird poo, even on high windows, and yes, you can see it from the ground 8)

Well I don't know what the birds eat around Graham's neck of the woods, but I've found bird poo comes off no problem.
Fly poo, now thats a different matter :-\ But that stuff isn't easy with trad methods either :-[

I agree...no problems using WFP on anything organic on a window......silicone, paint bitumin etc...ok, a nightmare...but it would be with traditional methods too......so get a pole and fly through your day and make some real dosh in half the time ! :)

How does WFP deal with those little spiders nests you get in a corner every now and then
I know with traditional they are stuck there pretty fast and when you do get them off they stick to the flaming glass.

I blast them out with the water after a good scrub with the end bristles on the brush.....should see the little beggars jump for it !

wfp definitely bad news for spider population.

snail trails are a pain, they take some effort, I reckon it's a french plot, sending there monster snails over here. I found 3 blocking a downpipe on a gutter today.
I wonder whether we could start collecting them and sell them back ?
