I lick the sills clean.

Sometimes I put a bit of cream cleaner on my tongue first. It helps to get of the stubborn marks.

I've tried the kitten and also used a baby hedgehog but both didn't last long enough.

Once when I was using the kitten, I thought I'd squashed a fly on the sill as there was a red stain. It's wasn't a squashed fly, it was kitty's eyes popping due to friction.



Also, if you do use a kitten or a hedgehog, or even a new born baby, don't leave them in the bucket over night because they will go rancid and bloated by the morning.
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 use three cloths. An old Aldi microfibre for sill wiping, a newer microfibre for wiping the squeegee and a blue window cloth for detailing. Used these for around 10 years and it works really well.

It seems to me that CIU has got a bit flabby and I have a sense that everything that is possibly related to window cleaning has been covered and we've hit a doldrum - a mid life crisis - and now we're reduced to "What cloth do you use to wipe sills with?"  

I think we need a bit of wind to fart us out of it.

What's the best squeegy, whose got the biggest squeegy (me I think about 30 inches somewhere in my shed), IBCs, tanks, pumps, batteries, poles, pole hoses, what van to use, what car to use; bad customers, good customers and famous customers, and will the economy collapse due to the inherent problems with the Capitalist system?  We've wrung the ruddy life out of it.

Is there anything left for the CIUgenius to pronounce upon?

And are we so devoid of imagination we're reduced to looking at a post that asks, "What cloth do you use to wipe sills with?"


(A prediction for spreadbetters: The next reply will be "no")

Sigh.

I used to just use a dirty wet scrim; I'd keep it in my rear pouch along with a bottle of soapy water that I'd use to wet my applicator with, 'cos I was to lazy to cart a bucket of water around with me.

I've thought this for some time. No arguments, no one having a go at richywilts, no trad v wfp slagging off, all getting a bit boring.
As to the op any old rag will do the job!!
