has anybody who uses isopropanol noticed that when you scrub the window it looks like it's soaping up quite a lot and then evaporates really quick????
-
Apparently when it stops doing this you stick some more in your tank.
-
i use barrels so it dosnt stop doing it, i just put an 8th of a litre in each barrel (i have only done it one day) and it just keeps on doing it, at first i thought it was the water freezing a little...
-
Yup it does that.
-
when you clean the window it seems to gleem even more tan normal, im considering using it all year round...
-
i used it this morning, looked quite soapy, wasnt happy...waited till it was dry before putting tickets in doors......looked at the windows and they were much cleaner than normal....def using more in my water even when its not freezing 8)
-
all i can say it must mix evenly through the water to do it all the way through the barrel

ive used it for allmost a year now and i wouldnt stop using it , nice to see some new users of ipa giving a honest comment .

£30 for 25ltrs but i collect its more to be delivered think its £40 give these guys a ring on 01226 387101 tell them its for window cleaning .

Also noticed this.
At first I thought I had contaminated my tank!
Then thought it was an air leak as my flow was a little weaker and thought I was spitting out air bubbles.
Then noticed how quick these little bubbles disappear and how cleaner the windows looked.
Will definetly consider using IPA all year round.

how much do you put in a 400ltr tank
-
me personally would put 200 ml per 100 litre... i put half a litre in a 250 litre tank and it worked a treat...
-
This is a new one to me! You add this and it helps the pure water to clean better and stops freezing? sounds awesome!

That is basically the only reason i use it. From the customers point of view it looks like you are using some sort of soap to "scrub" the window, a psychological advantage really. As for cleaning the windows better, i am not so sure. Once the glass is clean its clean and will shine as glass does when its clean, Isop or just pure. Syd 8)
