None.  I squirt a little along the applicator sleeve.   If using something like Fairy, a little goes a long way.

oh dear we have some silly billys on here today ha

Seriously I don't use fairy if I do any Trad work, I prefer to use gg3.

That's just my preference, but im sure you will try a few different detergents before you find one you are happy with as I did.

I've always found it OK.  Only use a little though.  I wasn't joking about squirting direct to applicator.
I have tried some of those other liquids.  Some of them didn't give enough slip.  Others you could hardly see when using them unless you used them in a far more concentrated manner than advertised.  Personally, if I've made a mistake on the glass, I like to be able to see it so that I can put it right.
Why not experiment until you find what works best for you?

Gg3 is only for soft/ pure water,
If you are in colchester, i think you said on another post, the water is very hard.
So you need gg4 not gg3.
Hope this helps

I put 6 squirts in my bucket, plus 2 capfuls of vinegar.

Works well for me.

are you adding the water after or before? how longs that last you before you change the water?

[andyM]

I would suggest putting the water in 1st and then the detergent.
Unless you want to have a foam party

I put the water in the bucket, then add the fairy and vinegar.
The water usually lasts me all day (seriously), although I carry enough for one change should it become necessary.

i put my fairy in first then water once i get to work the suds have nearly gone,its a trail an error situation i no how much fairy and water to add to get a good mix,to much fairy and suds take longer to remove from the window/sills and not enough will cause a squeeqee kick so you will be wasting time getting the scrim out to clean the mistakes up,1 bucket usually lasts me for the day unless im working on a main road where the glass is filthy,some of my custys think i change the water after each house  :

[geefree]

Im sorry , but if you need advice on how much fairy to put in your bucket..... well !

[NJWindowCleaning]

Just put one squirt or a tea spoon size into your bucket does not matter how you put it in before or after you fill with water.

And i do believe some who use GG3/GG4 put a dash of fairy into the bucket as well as GG3/GG4 dont foam up much or none at all.

And I have tried most liquids and that includes screenwash which isnt bad at all.

The preference for one person isn't the same for another so what ever you are happy to use well just use it.
