if your on about outsides yes wfp is fine although you need a brush with stiffish bristles, if you mean internal i use this with an extension pole

or there is a stiffer triangular one on ebay somewhere looks good but i've not tried it

Cheers Simon yes outsides mate

Stiff brush for outside.

Or take a long piece of bamboo, break off the tip and then it has dozens of little prongs insert into spiders web and twist and it winds them up like cotton candy.

I rescued a sparrow like this once. It was dangling by it's leg from the apex of a customers house, on a piece of plastic cord it had got tangled in. I used this exact method to pull it loose. It felt weird climbing down my ladder with a bird dangling from the end of a bamboo pole.

On the spider web front I don't find them any more trouble than snail trails with wfp.

Does this 'thread' class as a 'sticky' topic? Groan. Sorry /emoticons/biggrin.png

Snail trails - soak window then turn off flow - scrub with brush then water back on

According to Gardiner website pure water melts them off in one pass ! Yeah right

I have a small spray bottle of Ubik on my belt for stuff like snail trails. Works a dream.
