Anybody got any experience of cleaning sooty / ashy windows. Theres been a large fire near where i clean. Saw one of my customers and she said the whole area is covered in soot / ash and she lives 3 streets away. Problem being I have 105 customers within these 3 streets alone. By the sounds of it its going to take me quite a bit longer to clean and no doubt many will want extra done. Would you charge extra and by how much.

i have fire and flood experience, really depends on what was burning in the fire, the distance from it etc, as things like plastics can usually cause soot to be greasy/oily, so it will smear and smudge and take a bit of effort/chemical to remove, or you can get a dry soot which will remove without much effort

Block of 5 story new build flats (30 flats) completly gone - now single story. Surrounded by your typical terrace houses - so very close. Lucky no one hurt. All due to be cleaned on monday :( Good start to the week.
