Balls of fluff in top corners of windows
« on: May 22, 2015, 09:06:00 pm »
This is probably  a really simple question so feel free to have a laugh at my expense...... I did search the forum but couldn't find anything on this.

What are the balls of, (usually brown), fluff that you get in the top corners of windows - particularly on first cleans.  Sensible answers only please!

No they're not.

They're welded on with special spiders weld.  They do the actual welding at night time when no one is looking.
Just chant..... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. It's beats chanting Tory Tory or Labour Labour.

I had this last week,went inside and had on 2 windows out of dozens so not to bad. I must have got lazy and didn't scrub enough and go right up to the top of the panes,you will get this far more if you don't use a stiffer brush. Hot water helps with this problem a lot,like I say I got lazy and had it left on a couple of Georgion windows but without the hot water I would had far more windows left with the same problem.

I must of pulled a nest out in tact on my brush or sill cloth the other week & I went out to my van in the morning there were hundreds of them everywhere! Took me 2 days to get rid of them all!
