is there any thing that you san run though wfps to remove lime scale on 100s of windows

[Jake]

Is this on new builds ?

refurb. re scaned lintel

In a nutshell, no, there is nothing you can run through WFP.

The only way is to do it by hand and use something like...whats it called? TFR I think, or some other acid based, calcium disolving chemical.
Also the use of 000 grade wire wool in conjunction with these products.

If you have literally hundreds of panes with limescale on I don't envy you, no way will you get it all off either.
I find it eaasier to demonstrate to the customer that it won't come off, use a scraper and show them.
Explain it is the water runing down over the brickwork from rain, and then onto the windows.

Best of luck whatever you do!

If you are rich enough to have a Tucker pole system you can add things to the mix.
It has an attachment for doing just that!

But you probably haven't

Get your ladder out, if all windows are reachable, make a mix in a spray bottle of limescale remover, do the lot, then back over with wfp.  Don't forget, rinse well.  I've done it with good results.

If it was new builds and too high for a ladder, I would think you could clean the glass from inside with a limescale cleaner, then go over with wfp after.

If you can reach outsides with a ladder, then would agree with the other guys, spray on Cillit Bang first, it has got us out of trouble more than once!! Great stuff!

Definitely use MDR.
You'll need quite a few bottles, put them into a bucket (you can water it down a bit) dip your wfp brush in it and then raise it scrub the glass (water off)
leave a few minutes then clean window as normal.

Try it on a low window, i used some the other day squeezed a bit on the window came back few minutes later and washed off. No more limescale.

I've used Cillit Bang and think it's brilliant.

Like already said, rinse well

I'm going to stick my neck out on this because someone mentioned this on this site. I had a window that was covered in lime scale and I told the customer that I heard on this forum that pure vinegar, not the rubbish you buy in the shops removes it.

Next time I did her windows I asked her did you get your window replaced, no she replied used  pure vinegar. I was gobsmacked, I have still to buy some to cofirm this but may be worth a try. It has to be the pure stuff.

thank you all so much will give it a try.will let you all no.
 100s And 100s of them.

Viakal works but otherwise slowly over time it comes off as long as the water source causing the problem has stopped.

I 've used in the past white vinegar .Put it in a spray and the acid in it removes all scale,,in fact used it this morning,,worked fine,,just leave it on for a minute then wash/ blade off,,,it's cheap too,,,only problem is you always fancy some chips after using it!!!

[Easyclean Windows]

if you want to get it of quick then use crystal clear..   glass acid will remove in seconds make sure you rinse straight away though

[cherubs cleaning]

will the acid not etch the glass tx
