morning all, does anyone else have issues with vented windows?, i do quite a large council estate and have a few  problem windows, while the majority are fine, certain ones have quite a lot of spotting just below the vents. when i rinse down, the water just seems to stand still and won,t flow down, i was wondering  ,maybe if the vents were open its causing a small vacuum causing the water to hold..any advice would be muchly apprieciated..thanks

I would say It has nothing really  to do with if vents are open or not but is just down to your wfp technique if the glass dries out with spotting/drips marks.  With a bit of practice I'm sure you will figure out the best way and  get the hang of cleaning problematic windows with vents.

Worth mentioning hydrophobic glass can be harder to get  good constant results than hydrophilic glass. But again that's down to wfp technique used.

Clean them well the first time then avoid them.

If top/frames and vents get dirty in the future quick wipe over with a dey mictofibre them clean the glass.

Turn your flow up so more water is washing the windows down

I would have to agree.

I work with fan jets on glass I tent to wipe from left to right or right to left, whatever takes your fancy after cleaning as my rinse with brush on glass will often wipe away the runs

Only  advice I could give is try not to rinse up into the vent

I always clean above vents every time some  don't though

The problem with some vents is they're not sealed so any water put above them will run into them gather in the frame
absorb the dust and slowly drip out.
Unfortunately if you get a vent like this there's nothing you can do that's why I tend to take the same approach as Adam T,
just stick a microfiber over your brush and give them a quick rub every second or third clean.

if you have a uni valve,  wash over them  all,  turn water off, go back to first b one, and go over them with your brush,   drier,  then wash glass and hope for the best,  this is for tops only,     bottoms, cheap micro cloths from £1 shop,  just b wipe over with dry ones
