Dot n cloth windows...
« on: February 17, 2012, 05:36:43 pm »
*PLEASE NO ONE ANSWER THIS QUESTION WITH WATER FED POLE*

Dot n cloth windows, as I call them, can be a right nightmare... especially when it takes you 2 hours to clean the outsides, knowing you then have the insides to do.

Does anyone know of something, like a electric car buffer, or something simalar, that you could use instead to stop you from going insane and always thinking about selling all your dot and cloth work? ;D

Cheers

Thing is... no matter how much money is involved, they are still stupidly annoying when you have a good few hours of them infont of you.  :(

Na leaded arnt as mind numbing as the little sqaure ones. Surely some kind of battary powered little buffer of somekind is out there, that you could use instead

They are Georgian windows.
And as Bumper said if you have a squeegee the same width of the pane you will only have to scrim the bottom.
