Condensation Trails

[rjacandwc]

Hi! All.. Was after abit of advice. I was doing a cafe inside and out today and noticed that where the shop was hot inside. Ovens, Heating etc and being about 3 degrees outside l was getting a condensation trail on the window and you could see where my squeegee had been. I've checked my tools and everything seems fine. I'm not doing anything different to the norm. I wondered if anyone comes across this and is there a way to deal with it. No WFP comments please. lol

Once the condensation goes so will the marks

Nothing to worry about

I had it the other week doing the insides on a commercial job

Freezing outside and was in an enclosed reception area (between outer doors and inner doors)

Once done and walk away you can guarantee it will have evaporated off and be fine

Exactly as above. I've had them last 3 days & they disappear

Those "marks" are there the whole time also in summer you just cant see them cause they evaporate quickly

My thoughts exactly lads.. It's just that the managers wife text me saying that her husband thought that the Windows still looked dirty and he couldn't understand it as he see me cleaning. I mentioned what's written above in a text before I see your posts. I explained it in the nicest possible way about the condensation heat etc. But. it's jarred me off abit as I have to go back and put something right that ain't wrong lol. Been doing the job five years and only ever had one complaint of a person who l later found out still owed her gardener a mint lol...

Tell him nothings wrong and dont go back? Easy, your the proffesional you know what your talking about, your not saying how he should cook right, he would be insulted by that like you are when he tells you the job aint good enough, when nothing is wrong.

Cheers Jacob... I'll swing by tomorrow just before it shuts at three pm.. No trails will be showing then as the temperature will have risen. That'll shut him up.. lol

So long as your technique is good it will dry fine. Don't mess about trying to buff it or anything as you'll be there all day.

Yes they go away but iv noticed they come back if steamed up, noticed this when I go collecting at night time outsides and insides

 

[Jacob]

Yes and thats normal, try mop and squeegee your mirros in the bathroom before taking a warm bath, the mirror come up clean w no trails, then take a warm shower so the room is steaming, you will now see the triallines.

Thanks for all your comments yesterday lads. There is nothing worse than someone trying to tell you your wrong. When you know what you've done is to the best of your ability. Swung by their at 2.45.. And the glass was spotless. I knew it was down to the sub zero temperature over night. Just needed your thoughts to get me back on track. Thanks all. I think I'll do them later in the day in the winter months... Live and learn as we say...

noticed this on my own front porch after inside cleaning last week and decided to ignore it and it went away

condensation says i'll be back so i will ignore again :thumbsup:

Did a house insides before Xmas, new build bungalow, and the windows were ridiculous with condensation, cleaned them up great, and no sooner as I left the room, looked back and condensation started to form again. Explained to the owner that the Windows are spotless but I can't solve condensation issues. She was fine about that and said the houses have been over insulated and it's a major issue. Place has only been there for a year and already black mould is forming inside under the window sills!
