you cant go wrong with a drop of fairy

[ma159]

I have only been going since the summer but have used fairy and get great results.
best of luck!!

exel liquid is the best in my opinion. hard to source tho and can only be supplied in 50ltr drums, but the next best thing fairy liquid.

fairy is a good one as specialy if your just starting out, i find the squeegee glides easier than other liquids such as unger

[Mike 108]

I think 'Squeegee Off' is best.

It is 'low foaming' and not as harsh/sticky on your hands

[Chris Galloway]

ive always found fairy too expensive and too suddy!

If i do trad its the cheap shampoo from tescos.. does the job and no excess suds.. 

[johnny_h]

squeegee off is the best my hands stsrt to sting when i used fairy for a while

[DaveG]

fairy everytime

[MNWC]

ecover washing up liquid is good as well, all natural

99p , i think thats dirt cheap!!!!, excellent results evey time and it lasts, most wc's use green fairy!!

[d s windowcleaning]

ecover washing up liquid is good as well, all natural

ecover is as good as squegee off .

[dmlservices]

ecover washing up liquid is good as well, all natural

for any trad stuff/indoor cleans ect i use a mixture of this and gg3 , just enough ecover to give good glide, works a treat

well i hardly use the stuff, so i dont see the point of using fairy. I dont use fairy on the dishes anyway, just the cheap stuff, with HOT water. I clean my dishes as soon as they are finished with anyway, so whats the point of fairy? Its mainly for stuck on grime.. i dont get stuck on grime..

i tried sqrrgee off last month and had my first call back in 3 1/2 years i was gutted had to redo the insides of a £40.00 job! thought she was being fussy until i saw the windows in the sunlight... what a mess!! have now gone back to gg3. not really enough bubbles for my liking (thats why i tried sqeegee off ) but at least i know its clear!

maybe i had too much soap in the bucket, but not taking any chances in the future

gg3 for me

[NWH]

Unger fluid is the same,they look lovely till the sun gets on em.

[collins82002]

Yeah i agree with that, squegee off leaves a proper crap finish, fairy with a drop of gg3 is superb!! every time.

[tradman]

yep gg3 is the best for results, but when i used it regularly i kept getting punters saying "leave them this time there still clean" so i went back to fairy and now i stick quite a bit in so they get dirty quickly. fairy expensive?lol my goodness we are a tight bunch us window cleaners aren't we...lol

[darragh windows]

i had been using fairy since i started tried a lot of other things in between but never really stuck with them always went back to fairy until i read on here about stardrops, tried it and i would never use anything else its easier on your hands less suds but still enough to see what youve covered more slide less streaks in pure sunshine , its cheaper than anything else as well at only 70p a bottle highly recommended

[pjulk]

If i were to do traditional window cleaning full time i would choose fairy.

As i sometimes have the missus with me and does trad downstairs i use squeegie off as it does not leave a film like fairy.
That way if the next time i clean this house and i'm on my own i will just wfp it.

Don't bother with unger liquid the only good thing that has going for it is the nice smell.
