You don`t have to get smears/ squeegee kicks etc. just because you are working in direct sunlight. Just a bit more care and attention with your applicator and you should be fine. 

ds, does Big Orange produce loads of suds?


Went to b&q today and they've never heard of it
no theres not loads of suds mate , £5.98 for 5 ltrs in b&q give it a go .
just go on the b&q website and type big orange in the search bar .

I've used Fairy for years and always found it to be the best ( the specialist window detergents have too few suds for my liking).  I am intrigued with this big orange, will give it a go. cheers

Fairy Liquid contains silicon which is why the advert used to say 'for hands that use fairy can be as soft as your face....'

It leaves a coating of silicon. Like dishes, it's looks ok to start with but after a while, that good old silicon leaves smear marks and dust sticks to it.

Also, I can always tell any new customers shop window that has been done previously with fairy liquid, it bubbles up like anything. That means good old fairy leaves a residue.
Just chant..... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. It's beats chanting Tory Tory or Labour Labour.

i've tried and tested loads of liquids and by far the best stuff is unger liquid if its mixed correctly this blows away all soaps and fairy...  There's no right way really its just what works for you and as long as your not losing customers then dont change.. I do use ettore a lot in the winter months when its cold as you get less vapour trails than unger but if someone said to me i can only use one liquid forever its unger for me boys..

unger with ettore rubbers!!!!

The Hi - tec cleaning group do a product called 'Super gleam'. Its a blue liquid, come in a 5 litre container and is used neat. I use it in a spray bottle when doing the insides. Top stuff.

That might be "fast Orange", they used to do a range of cleaning solutions about 15 years ago. ;)

i use around 4 lids full  to around 10 ltrs of water . and its much better than unger liquid .
