What's the best chemical to dip my brush in and clean the windows with.

I did a large job inside and out on Tuesday and was far from impressed with the results.

The stains are mainly spider web residue. Only trouble is, they're wooden frames, so I need to be careful what chemical to use.

I don't really have that problem. I do use additives though in my pure water, and on a first clean (if it's particularly dirty) I usually put a little virosol on the brush head and agitate the window with it then move on to the next window.

Then by the time you've agitated the other Windows and go back to give glass a final clean and rinse and muck is just melted off.

im the same.if wfp wont get it off alone i spray my brush with virosol.that usually works.

also what brush are you using?i find a flocked brush in good condition removes spider webs/snail trails more effectively.

Gardiners stiff mixed sill brush. Red smaller bristles and white long ones

Does TFR have the same effect as Virosol?

Depends what’s on the glass as hot/warm pure water works better than cold and for a boost to be honest any type of mild detergent/chem will do even dare I say it vision. However if glass is in really bad condition with say wood stain, silicon, lead staining etc then it would be classed as a glass restoration jobby and nose to the glass and all that.

As mentioned already the type of brush you use also helps as flocked bristles have more contact with the glass but needs cleaning more often and you can’t really rinse on the glass with a flocked brush.

I’m sure tadgh will be along in a min to inform us the correct products to use and how to do it.

Found stiff to be good in the summer and thats about it.You press down the the bristles just skip over dirt left.

Full trim flocked soft, eats dirt.

I have a bottle in a holder filled with a heavy duty cleaner strapped on me all times now.
For really dirty windows I give the window a spray, run the brush round with only a little water on ( easy to do with aquatap) then turn the water up full and clean away.

Hi Lance, i know what you mean about being careful on wooden frames, we promote a safe cleaning solution called Bio-Kleen H/D cleaner which is based on colloidal chemistry, its £25 for a 5 liter concentrate, you can dilute it 100-1 to clean wooden frames and glass. if you would like any further information give me a call or email. regards Tadgh
