I just love the scrim for drying up externally.

You will do well to stay clear of the windowcleancentre scrims as I had to throw mine in the trash. The fibres are left behind on the glass, they are a cheap scrim not suitable for glass polishing. YOU ARE GETTING WHAT YOU ARE PAYING.

Buy Unger. I get mine from windowcleaningwarehouse

Post by: Sapphire Window Cleaning on July 09, 2009, 07:03:13 pm: 99% of scrims have to be "worn in" boiled a couple of times before using etc.
I have never had a problem with non absorbancy or fibres left on the windows.

Title: Re: Wheres the best place to buy scrims????
Post by: Sapphire Window Cleaning on July 09, 2009, 08:07:19 pm: Dean, I would personally try the scrims for £20 from the window clean centre, if you get on with them great, but if you go out and buy the unger ones at around the £5 mark EACH and then try the cheaper one with no difference in the job they do you will kick yourself.

Post by: Sapphire Window Cleaning on July 09, 2009, 08:08:26 pm: Dean if you want I'll give you 2 scrims for you to try out first mate.
Email me you address and I'll send you them.
