Title: Oilflow

Does it shift the residue from window stickers easily?

had a new clean today that was pretty much a builders clean, glass from floor to apex with a sticker mark on every pane, no where to rest a ladder and detergent on an applicator won't touch it.  :(

upvc platic cleaner will get rid of it but that involves using a bit of towel/rag.

I carry nailvarnish remover in the van but no way was I going to slosh that about on brand new glass and frames. I figure Oilflow 141 might be safer to use although I have never touched the stuff. I would need to squirt an applicator with it and rub using a pole I think.

 I use oilflo occasionally for removing sticky label residue , sellotape and silicone sealant and it works well .

I think it is great stuff. Turns the sticky stuff into something soluble in water. I had some selotape of frames a while ago, I think teh sun had got to it for a while. Nothing I tried would remove it other than Oilflo.

Just ordered a bottle. Seems a bit pricey for such a small amount but hey ho.

Seems quite a few houshold products might do the same jobs as some windowcleaning suppliers expensive products.

eg.
gg3/gg4 - Fairy
MDF - Cillit Bang
Windsol Crysal Clear - Vikial, Killrock, Cillit Bang lime, Harpic?
UPVC cleaner - Ciff, Wilkinsons Astonish,Doctor Power
