i cleaned castle cement for 18 years but jacked it in as the safety officer was a real pain in the ass, that baked on cement dust on the 7x and on the top floor veluxe windows could be a real pain some weeks.

i worked clitheroe and a domestic round in hurst green for about 20 years but never came accross your uncle, i will ask my dad if he knows him hes been cleaning windows since the 1950s and more than likely will know him. Your uncle will probably know george blackburn he had a large round in clitheroe and was old school too his son now does the round i think.
  you mentioned you are originally from colne we recently have just started the contract in colne for cleaning the woodheads abbatoir every night its a filthy job.

 no the safety officer was called chris fish, how did the 7x become so bad i used to get it clean every week including those luvre windows what sort of acid where you using when you cleaned them or had they stopped the use of acid when you did them.

Ladders are a complete no go on there now so wfp is the only option,

Soaking wet windows with airbourne cement flying everywhere tells its own story :o :o

We used citric acid from by the electrical shop on the ground floor.

Post by: trevor perry on September 27, 2009, 08:02:53 pm
with wfp it would be hard and you would have to think out the box to get them clean, it would involve applying the acid by a dema valve and then rinsing with pure water but in my opinion this would be more dangerous than ladders all that citric acid dripping everywhere.
