Small translucent marks - what are they?
« on: September 05, 2015, 08:57:02 pm »
On a few houses this past week there have been very small translucent marks (looks a bit like a hard water mark or glue or sealant or similar but scratches off easily with a fingernail). Any idea what they may be?

Typically there are about three or four randomly per pane and they do not come off easily with the brush but need the edge to remove the mark.
It's a game of three halves!

I've had them too on some of my properties. Must be some milk pooping insect or something.

Remains of snail trails that haven’t been completely washed off by the rain maybe?
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've had the odd milky coloured splash like  Mark but quickly rubbed off with a cloth or finger only really noticed marks  whilst rinsing

I think I may get the same. Don't come off very easy with a brush so end up scraping with fingernail.
It must mean I'm not removing them from upstairs windows as my nails are that long and I can't see them up there.
One up for traditional ladder cleaners probably.
