Leaded windows trad

[Sean murray]

Had a pig of a job today. Big six bed detached with all leaded windows. About 20 lead squares on each window if you understand me.

What is the best way to clean these trad. It took me fecking ages. Any help would be appreciated.

I've stopped taking on new customers that have lead windows.

I hate doing them, especially in the summer.

The ones I do have I just wipe round the frames first with a damp cloth and then use one wet detailing microfibre cloth to go over it and then another dry one to buff it.

Mop window as normal

Wipe frames and sill

Run scrim up and down each length of lead ( this will leave window almost dry)

Buff with dry scrim using circular motion

Sounds a lot of messing about but once you get into a rhythm it's amazing how quick it is

What I did was mop as usual. Wet cloth frames. Dry each edge of lead square. Down stroke with squeegee. Dry edges again. It took way too long.

Wet rag then dry scrim does the job (although on occasion I have in the past just gone over them with just a dry scrim, did the job though)
