Why haven't all these wfp companys invented a brush with some changable non scratch pads on the sides to remove the bird pooh. Think i might be on to something here. I'm a window cleaner & windows 7 was my idea as well.

[A & J Owen Window Cleaning]

my thoughts exactly mate can  come up with a few ideas an extention of the pole with a scrim on the end

[jouk45]

look for reach a round from gardiners

I have never had a single problem with bird muck.
I give it plenty of water to rehydrate it then clean the rest of the windows, then come back to the window with bird muck.

[jouk45]

myself, i just pre soak then go back, take of the worse soak and go back again, basicly striping it in lairs if it has been on there for some time, the new poo  comes of almost instanly, its the Mc donald poo to watch out for lol

[stephen s]

never have a problem with it

[Ste M]

ste is that cos you have the heated water?

[stephen s]

hi Ste,

yes the hot does help  but so does just giving it a soak for a couple of minutes before you clean,    letting the water saok on it helps break it up

[Ste M]

i have an interseting meeting on monday that i hope will lead to me getting some money this year, if i do hot water is very high on my list.

got some cracking houses today, only worry is there are loads of trees about and im worried about tree sap, do you have any tips for this as well?

[stephen s]

hi mate.

in a lot of cases of crap and things on glass is to give it a good soak and then clean other windows before coming back to the problem ones,    you will then find them a lot easier to clean.

what I would do if I were you Ste is breeze through to Southport to Brodwx and have a look at some of their systems but I wouldn't make hot your priority unless you have the money to spend but defo recommend a visit to brodex mate.

[Ste M]

im going to go up there this month hopefully mate, i want a good pole about 30-40ft for the higher windows plus over conservatories, i have a extel but we all know how bendy they are at that length. im going to have a go of their poles and see if i can get a deal, if not ill get the gardiners super max40.

[stephen s]

are you going to the cleaning show in Coventry in March ?      if so you can see all the poles from all the makers

[Ste M]

i cant mate its my lads birthday on the friday and im working all day on the thursday, i went to the blackpool one but never really looked at the poles as much as i should of, plus gardiners dont go to the events do they?

[stephen s]

'm not sure mate,   I'm hoping to get up there on the Thursday work permitting

[Tim82]

I thought i'd seen an unger brushhead with pads on the sides? maybe i was just dreaming! Customer told me i'd scratched their window the other day getting a birdmuck off. easy done. 

[stephen s]

Ronnie B   aka Ronaldo  who comes on here from time to time has a great gadget and well worth speaking to.

he can also be found on the windows tools forum

gardiners do such a device, im going to order one this week to help with any problems until i win the lottery and get myself hot hot hot

It's easy to be fooled with bird muck, you think you have left the glass perfectly clean, come back and look again when they are dry, and the sun is low in the sky.
I have a pad on the end of my superlite brush, but it's not that good.

Gardiners wont be there ?

[chopsie]
