BUILDERS CLEANS
« on: August 25, 2010, 10:26:49 pm »
does anyone on here have experience in builders cleans, if so what is the best way to clean the inside of the frames where the windows open i.e with a brush ,vac im finding it very time consuming getting in all the tight gaps.
Also do you use a scrapper to get the cement of the outside sills?
HELP!!!

wayne best 2 bits of advice I can give you are 1 - just say no to builders cleans!!!! pain in the arse. 2 if you going to do it then negotiate an hourly rate rather than a job price, trust me things take alot longer than your thinking they will.
