hi

While i'm here i forgot to ask about brushes. At the mo i use a vkan soft brush but its next to useless in getting caked on birdpoo off even after a soak. Is there a more aggresive brush for 1st cleans that will help. on normal domestics i just get the ladder and clean off the poo but on the town houses i have just got  my ladder won't reach so there must be another way

Any mono-filament brush will be more aggressive at getting bird poo off windows.  It is always worth pre-soaking bird poo, going on to the next window and then coming back to have a scrub.

I've also found that bouncing the brush on it a little after a short soak gets the bristles under the muck in most cases and quickly removes it.

I agree with both the above replies.

I have lost count how many times i have soaked a bird poo and forgot to go back to it

like its been said, soak it up, also go side to side over it, not just up and down. Also a brush with a bit of weight to it i find better, vikan monofiliment the best, imo.

Glue some  green scotchbrite on the side of your brush.

i use an unger pole with a scraper on, wet 1st then lightly scrape, works a treat

Have to admit I (still a newbie) have yet to come across a 'splat' that cannot be cleaned....just a question of soaking it first and let it soak in a while...then a little scrubbing in both the up & down, side to side directions.

As has been said......if it's nicely baked on, let it soak and go back to it.

The tricky bit is very often I find I've got it off but haven't scrubbed hard enough afterward.  Must remember if it's been there a while there is often a shadow/outline left even after all the crud is removed.  Give it a good final scrub scrub rinse

Still usually easier than climbing up a ladder.

That's true Pj, even after it's gone keep on scrubbing for a bit, because when it's dried you'll still see where it was.

a little soaking with white vineger usually works well if you cant reach with a spray bottle spray some on your brush and rub it over the offending window it dos make it easier than just pure water .
