Shouldnt matter really

Just go round the house and do frames only

And then start again and just do glass only

Plenty of water and rinsing

Works for me

Mono is the only thing that will remove soap residue,you can do 10 cleans with a flocked and then on the 11th clean with a mono you`ll see soap.

Im beginning to think that Alexs supalite would be a good first clean, particularly if theyve previously been down and it isnt a first first clean, i.e. from minging.

Reason Im thinking this is that those bristles Ive found are wonderful for reaching into allsorts of crevices etc, Ive been wfp for 7 months and am finding the supalite brush is dragging out old soap that 5 previous cleans with a salmon or vikan have failed to move.

any brush...

its simple really.... any brush will clean the glass....why all the hype over brushes i will never know....(do you run around trying to get a designer sponge to wash your car? of course not)..

any brush on the wfp market will do the job....

wash and rinse the frames.... wash and rinse the glass....job done.

my last post may have sounded a little cocky... it was not meant...

if you were sweeping someones drive.... a brush is a brush..

a soft brush for windows will clean the glass.... its not a problem as long as you dont use a hard yard brush . ;) :D ;)

apart from a bentley brush. Not good on 1st cleans i found in my experience.
But i agree that others should.
