Wrong one mate. You want the washing up liquid. That's all purpose cleaner. But don't despair. Put a capful of that in your bucket as well. I put one capful of flash in mine with my ecover washing up liquid.

Thanks guys. So you`re sure putting a neat spot on the wfp won`t wreck the water readings?

does ecover remove water stains?

No, you need a hard water stain removal product. The Unger cream for this is very good.

All i do if needed now, is i have a tiny bottle of ecover (lemon) in my pocket, and when needed just put a drop on the brush neat, scrub windows and rinse.......perfect!!!!!

Bob on innit bingo?Put a splash of water on said windows, foam up, go to some other windows for a minute then come back and wash and rinse.

Its been back doors and patio doors mostly i've been doing like this cause of the splash back from all the rain, sticks like sxxx to a blanket lol

Me too, ecover washing up liquid is excellent and this is the easiest way to use it on windows and frames.

how much washing up liquid do you guys go thru? im going thru 1 or 2 litre bottles a week [4 workers] . im thinking of buying one of those pump top soap dispensers that you used to see at school ,screw it to the inside of my van

after you have cleaned your problem window with ecover, moving on to your other windows takes ages getting the soap out your brush

 

[S.W. Window Cleaning]

Where is best place to buy this ecover? I see it on Amazon but I haven`t checked local supermarkets to see if they stock it.

I've used the washing up liquid on the brush technique. It does work. But I haven't tried ecover. Much predicted tip. Will get some.

However, what does interest me is putting it in your water pre pump. I accept what I see in the video up there that it doesn't mess with your Tds. Don't know if it being 100% natural somehow helps that. So in theory it won't cause spotting on the window either. And I see how it might help the water to sheet. Though I have my own theories on whether a sheeting window is actually better than a beading one. But that's another discussion. It's the potential cleaning power on first cleans and a couple of problem jobs that is most valuable.

The chap in the video puts it in post DI. I keep my DI chamber in my truck post pump, pre hose reel. Any thoughts on whether it's effect would be nullified by going through the DI? Or would it cause increased degradation of DI?

I change my brush after I have soaped them. This stops that problem.
