Basic stuff here but Im still a newbie ... doing a first clean on 1 I canvassed other day and all windows leaded.

Would it be right to use Tbar then a dry scrim or just use wet scrim then dry scrim ... found ettore squeegee off to be a great product

Ian I used to soak 1 scrim in the bucket then ring it out, then use this to wash the windows then a dry scrim to dry and polish.
one bit of advice I would give mate, you dont need to scrub hard with the scrims/microfibre, imagine you are dusting the windows.

Best of Luck

I use a light window cleaning spray from Tescos (Mr Muscle or something) and scrim or preferably microfibre.

I'll give the windows a light mist (if they're not too dirty - more if they are) and start handbashing.  I'd probably use two scrims, one to loosen the muck and a bone dry one to polish.

I hope you charged well because leaded windows aren't much fun doing trad.

Depends how dirty they are,  if they r really bad i would clean them like you would a normal window but just straight strokes with squeege, and then windowlean/mr muscle and microfibre. If not just the latter.

I reckon my way is easier and doesn't knack your rubber.

I use to throw the scrims over my shoulder between windows, lovely to have a wet shoulder and back in winter lol

 Yeah, it depends on how bad they are. Give a swipe with your T-bar if they are dirty then dry and polish. I also do this in direct sunlight. However you wet the window, try and dry/polish before it dries off. It makes it easier.

  Also do as Matt says, a more light dusting action (doing more passes) is better than a few vigorous wipes.

Leather, then dry wrung out scrim!

Hi,

And not forgetting no soap just water or window spray ie; Mr muscle. Only use soap ie; fairy, squeegee of with an applicator & squeegee.

If you do use soap with cloths it will be covered in smears when the sun shines.

if they a bad mop with t bar sqeegee off wipe glass with clean sill cloth then shine up with scrim

if not to bad wipe wet sill cloth ring it out wipe glass then buff up with your scrim

I usually go over it with the tbar then squeegee of most of the water just in straight up and down lines then get a wet cloth rub the rest off and buff it up with a bone dry scrim comes out gleaming

I have never had smears on leaded and I used fairy back then!
All you have to do is make sure that the wet cloth/scrim takes the dirt off, then polish with a dry scrim/microfibre, the only time you get smears using the "rag & polish" technique is when you let the water on the window dry before you polish it.
