Water runs like on oily window when wfp
« on: July 09, 2011, 09:49:05 pm »
I have not long ago started wfp. When I wash windows water runs like it would be oily it's most of the windows like that and different customers. I was worried that I put my brush soemwhere where I have picked up some oil, I washed it with some fairy. good for few windows, then back to oily runs. it makes it more difficult to rinse as water would run in channels and difficult to create a water curtain.

Now where I had not oily windows, water would run down and it's dried in minutes.
Oily windows water  would gather in drops and stay until they dry out.

Once dry - no marks of oil or anything - they perfect.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks

Sometimes its what the glass has been cleaned with in the past. If you clean a window with Mr Muscle and then later clean it WFP it will go just like that. Try it yourself, a bottle of Mr Muscle is not that expensive and it must contain something waxy which stays on the glass for years after.

Anything with a petroleum based "polish" is a no no.

Pity you didn't take your own tip and invest in a spell checker.
