Removing wood oil from windows
« on: June 11, 2016, 07:07:58 am »
Hi all

I have a clean to do. The house has been clad in Cedarwood, and where it has been oiled it's got all over the windows - is there any  product I can apply and scrub to remove it, or does it need a scraper? I hope not as there's lots of glass..

Thanks
Tom

I removed some this week on a job and meths worked well.  Mineral Turpentine should be ok as well.

Thanks a lot pure tech.

How do you apply it? And do you scrub with WFP? The frames are metal will it be ok on them?

Thanks again.

I applied it using a rag dipped in the meths and was able to reach the outside from inside the house.  Should not be a problem with the metal frames but it is always a good idea to do a test first. I did actually wfp afterwards and dipped the brush in soapy water to help remove any residue.

Thanks pure tech for your help, much appreciated.

Attached is a picture of the place we need to do.. Quite time consuming I think - there's a lot more glass that you can't see. Plus its cleaning all the grey metal cladding - that doesn't have oil on thankfully.
