had a problem recently with spots.
I noticed the water from the jets were hitting the bristles on my new unger sill brush, so i gave the bristle  a trim so the water did not hit them.
Had no problem since.

hope this helps anyone out there with spotting

there are many many reasons for spotting mate. i suggest you go to the "Window Cleaning Issues" board and check out my recent threads!

and use the search facility! i found out loads looking through old topics!

let me know how you get on because this is a subject very close to my heart, as everyone on here alweady knows!  ;D

best of luck

Hi mate -quite often it can be from the top of the frames or the pure water routing the crap out from the rubber beading it will take on average about 3 cleans until this stops anyway but as the gentleman says in the earlier post make sure you rinse well,i usually come down in horizontal sweeps dropping an inch at a time as i go-The best way is to give all new customers an info leaflet explaining it all as these often state that it will take 2-3 visits before spotting stops i have done this for all my customers and it works a treat, Can send u one of mine if u wish and u would just need to copy and paste the writing onto your own letterhead.

All the best

Hi all. First Post, sorry if telling you how to suck eggs.
I have known of a problem similar to this with another cleaner. After leaving the house he cleaned, a neighbour started some building work creating a lot of dust.
This stuck to the beads of water that were left on the glass.
Make sure there is nothing to contaminate after you have left - dusty paths, even someone having a bonfire - smoke will spot your windows also. In such a case it is always a good idea to blade windows too.
