It's a secret mate, and if you haven't joined the "Window Cleaners Secret Club" then if we tell you, we will have to kill you.













Fairy, if you're trad.

Glass glean 4 the best for the pros

i tried with fairy and it was very watery whereas i ve seen some people cleaning windows that look like they are using something more soapy?

[cozy]

PMSL put more Fairy in then !

Sorry mate, but couldn't resist. You need to try different mixtures to get the result you want. When your blade glides how you want it to, and it gets the dirt off, that's it.

squirt a bit on the applicator as well

Sorry mate, never seen a WC using a spray or anything like that.

Alot of traditional guys buy vinigar based 750 ml sprays from us to use on lead/georgian also comes in 5ltrs. It may be this type of spray you have seen.

glass gleam are for guys that can actually squeegee a window

I use Squeegee Off out of choice. I have seen other window cleaners using a spray bottle but I think its just the same old soapy water just a different way of using it. Then they use an applicator to rub it around the glass. Saves carrying a bucket but you can't rinse out the applicator from time to time.

always used fairy.dont use too much as it will leave a sticky residue on the glass!just enough so the squeegy glides on the glass.cheap spray bottle of window cleaner from local supermarket good if ur cleaning inside windows or georgian/leaded.saves carrying bucket in the house!light mist then buff up with a dry microfibre.if dirty inside just spray on T MOP and soap the window!simple and easythen squeegy off.less mess!!

best wishes
