hydrophobic glass..pain in the ar##

[paulben]

I use vinegar and a drip of ecover get hundreds of little droplets that dry very quickly and leave window clean and shiney

if u polish the glass with a bronz wool pad it will then sheet for a few cleans a brush with bronze wool bristels will combat that like the bronz wool woven in to half the bristels or u could have a pad on the angle neck to buff the glass b 4 u clean ,persnly it wouyld take to long ide just rinse slower an alls b well

So far I've had no problems on hydrophobic but it was just 1 particular set of windows..was like it was allergic to water

 

[paulben]

If windows hate water then wont they dry quicker so less chance of getting dust on them before drying

I hate that 50/50 or 80/20 glass

like the left hand side will sheet and other side wont or top doesnt sheet then bottome does.

whats that glass all about that you just get a small section in the middle that doesnt sheet but rest of window does. make your mind up glass.

The problem is with rinsing as the water completely misses some bits of the glass so don't take the dirt off

And if you look at them when they are dry you might see that the glass looks water stained.

If you look at glass its usually in the sun and the middle of glass ( maybe something to do with heat ) I ignore what it looks like and carry on as normal never had a complaint yet

actually...some glass is not so easy to squeegee as you see the soap go all...phobic...

it is so funny how you LOVE..the jobs where every glass is phillic...its like WOW...LOVE IT.....

and next house...:turd:

 

[Diwrnach]

Doesn't bother me at al really, just means you have to go slightly slower, and not sure about you guys but round here a lot of the older houses have what I can only describe as wavy glass? its impossible to squeegee as the glass isn't flat, god knows what a trad guy would do with them?

Have a few houses and two shops like it.

 

[Dave B]

I didn't get the squeegees out today.my excuse is gotta practice wfp as much as poss lol

So much quicker today without tradding

 

[cheapncheerful]
