How are you cleaning trad or wfp?

[Londoner]

elbow grease, pure and simple.

I mix white distilled vinegar with my detergent works a treat but wfp works better

I'll second that. Snails trails come off easier if the brush goes in the same direction as the snail trail.

Just follow the direction of the trail with the brush,you don`t have to scrub that hard.Wayne got that tip from me lol.

Customers complaining equals less money so I would use a bit more elbow grease, possibly a green pad like you get for doing the dishes as well, but most of all make sure they come off.

try a bit of ammonia in your water, smells a bit, but cuts through all kinds of stuff.

Where do you get the ammonia from?

I used to use it about 12 years ago. The local cleaning supplies shop sold it by the gallon. Hurts a bit if you spill it on your hand, but ok if you rinse hand straight away.  Wasn.t expensive. Customers were impresssed with the smell but not so much on the inside of offices!1

Squeegee off or Glass Gleam 4, no problems whatsoever.

Try using a porcupine sleeve from Ettore as well, gives that extra bit of abrasive action, without having to use any abrasive pad on the end of the sleeve.
