I would try a different approach....

I have been using 'hobby' type marigolds ( a bit thicker than normal) but have seperate cotton liners....a cheapish alternative.

Cheers

Joka are very good for wfp but too thick and rough for trad.

These are the same one that Colin is on about, I've used them in the past many years ago and had forgotten all about them, never used them for window cleaning but I think they should be good as they are close fitting and durable.  When you click on them on the Norris site they come up as £29.95 +P&P, this ebay seller is doing them for £25 and free P&P

Pingu is from Holland so a phone call could work out expensive. Besides, they should answer emails otherwise what's the point of having email addy. ;)
