Great! I have plenty of time on Tuesdays /emoticons/wink.png .

My comment on car tyres was a joke....hence the smiley :rolleyes: .

It's keeping the rubber clean, through-out the day by what-ever means, is what prolongs the life of the rubber.....water and vinegar will not extend the life of a worn rubber.

:rolleyes: Oh no...not again /emoticons/sleep.png .

What part of the above don't you under-stand :wacko:.

Oh! And there was NO smiley face at the end of your remark about the comment I made about tyres.....so there /emoticons/tongue.png/emoticons/biggrin.png .

But........if you believe that soaking your squeegy rubber for a couple of hours in warm water and vinegar on a Friday night works for you...........then 'crack-on' /emoticons/smile.png .

I'm off too work now /emoticons/sad.png .....you have a nice day B) .

u too bingo me old beauty! :)

 
Just wondered really, change rubbers every 6-8 weeks and aplicator sleeve every 3-4 months or when i can see its on its last legs! lolBear in mind im still 100% trad (only hoses i carry is for my pressure washing jobs in the summer months)
I use hard Unger blades, if I get one day from one side I consider that good. the clean is only as good as the rubber!!! On the window cleaning training courses (so I've been told) you are told to turn them round at the middle of the day.
 
i use pulex soft and need to change blades every 4 days or so but i sometimes get a super blade and it lasts a week. interested to read about the vinigar trick, in winter i use fairy mixed with a splash of meths it stops any streaks or where you stop and spin the blade but it also seems to make the blade last a day longer. in summer i make a conconction of 3 different soaps to make it slippery i cant tell ya the mix its a secret potion lol trying some different blades this week, a german one i'll let you know how it goes

 
When I lived in Milton Keynes I hardly ever changed my blades as it was pretty much all upvc but now in Oxford I have to sometimes change them twice a day!!! Flippin wooden windows with nails and flakey paint and what have ya... I use hard rubber now and I think it lasts a bit longer...
