haha

I gotta thank the guys who first suggested flash/ecover to me on here last year

Tried it and never looked back

 

[tench0771]

think i was 1 of them lol i used to rave about flash an ecover but i found ecover dident have that edg on finger prints an greasey marks

 

[Dave B]

The gel concentrate flash seems a lot better than the normal stuff

 

[tench0771]

ill try that as i allways used to use the standerd

iv started useing ecover the same way you do davey. i find that ecover looses its suds quite quick when put straight in to a bucket i used ot think it was the flash killing it but after not useing it made no diffrence.

I've used all manner of detergents from titan g4 to fairy liquid. If the g4 had a better glide then it would be hands down the best on the market. The wipe up is so quick. I used to use squeegee off aswell but I changed my work to wfp and didn't need to use it as often. I now just nip to b&q and grab hg window cleaning liquid. It's 3quid and u only need to use 2-3 teaspoons per 5l of water. Fairy is too suddy and leaves a film. Hope this helps.

Using a porcupine applicator makes a big difference combined with flash/ecover it takes everything off the glass pretty much

Didn't use my scraper at all today

At least i think i didn't

Autopilot sometimes so wouldn't remember

I use ECover and a cap of white vinegar. I use a bucket in built up areas. But, the odd house I use a spray bottle. I find you get a better consistence on the glass. I find the spray and mop floor bottles good for this. They have good lids on them...

Mite sound a daft question but do you put the flash in the bucket with the water and ecover on the applicator?

 

[Dave B]

I mix 1 bottle of flash concentrate to 2 big bottles of ecover in my bucket and then pour back into the bottles

Keep an old washing up liquid bottle and you will have enough left over to fill it

That goes on my belt and i add a dollop on applicator as needed(dunk applicator in bucket and shake off then put a thin line accross both sides of applicator.. will do a house)

Leaving 2 litre bottles of ecover flash mix in the motor to refill bottle with as needed

 

[Dave B]

If you want to mix a little to try i would use about an inch or inch and a half in a fairy size bottle and the rest ecover rather than use 2 whole bottles of ecover

 

[matt clark]

Thanks ill hive that a try I use green fairy at the minute but I find it to suddy and the film it leaves but iv never known anything else

 

[Dave B]

Try asda version of ecover

Litre bottle

Completely clear

Says something about being natural on the bottle

A lot cheaper and works well

The natural ones do need a boost with flash or vinegar though

 

[tench0771]

i used to use 1 cap of flash an a squard of washing up liquid to the bucket, i had a go with some asda home brand to day an it was very good stuff

 

[Dave B]

It seems to stay on the applicator a bit longer than ecover tench

Thats the other reason I use flash concentrate as it keeps the mixture thicker than ordinary flash

 

[tench0771]

nce ill get some tomorow an add to the persil

 

[matt clark]

Thanks guys I will be trying it tomorrow /emoticons/smile.png

I certainly haven't looked back since using ecover & flash.

May try the asda version daveyboy.

What's it called?
