Water run marks on sills

[Smurf]

Splashing pure water about does nothing to remove greying/grime on plastics nor painted wood for that matter @Tuffers.

Half a job :laugh:
That why I charge alot more on one-off/first cleans as I also restore the upvc aswell back too white.

Yeah, I can really see this new customer paying smurf prices for a first clean @Smurf they would be paying something like 2 years maintenance cleans on the first clean if you got your hands on it. How would you propose to clean those stains if you told them you were ladder free?

Half a job /emoticons/biggrin.png Like it.

 

[Smurf]

I have ways and means @Tuffers as I operate a ladder minimization policy but still use ladders if need be that is if the price is right. Otherwise if they are not bothered for me to restore the plastic then half a job it is /emoticons/biggrin.png

Pity I did not take any pic today as I deep cleaned the outside of a painted wooden conservatory including glass roof. Not only did I clean the white filthy & stained paintwork but also restored the gutters back to white too.

People do pay a premium price for my work but they get what they pay for. /emoticons/wink.png

The chap was so pleased he wanted me to deep clean the inside too there and then. I said NO not today as the temp inside was 35 with the windows and doors open.

 

[Tuffers]

And what methods did you use @Smurf?

 

[Smurf]

I do keep some trade secrets you know or before I know it there will be smurfetts springing up everywhere on my patch /emoticons/biggrin.png

Looks like quite a recess between the glass & frames there so I can only assume it's the years of dirt accumulation still leaking after you've gone. Recommend either charge more & double clean or take a dry sill cloth & wipe the edges.

No sign of my second batch. Must have sussed me /emoticons/biggrin.png

 

[cheapncheerful]

well to be fair they are cheap ....the postman thought it funny anyway....wish i had bought more as i seem to be getting much more black off the seals these days and these things work great at shifting them...

i thought rubber wasnt supposed to degrade...i will have to put up my prices if it continues...oh sod it i will put them up anyway....:rofl:

 

[Tuffers]

Here's another house with the grey lines that I did today. No rubber seals to speak of, but they were wooden and the paint was satin. Cleaned using a magic sponge and neat Virosol. I wonder if this satin paint is the problem, as I'm sure the complaining woman has satin paint.

 

[Tuffers]

As you can see in the first pic, the water is 'finding' the grey lines to run down

 

[cheapncheerful]

Just 5 pence worth of sponge used on that job /emoticons/biggrin.png

Agree. This has come from the lead as well as atmospheric polution. I bet they will be back next time before you clean them.

 

[Smurf]

They may last you a while then @Tuffers /emoticons/biggrin.png

Sure will. I might start handing a free one out to customers. If they see a mark on their sill, they might go and clean it and save me a job /emoticons/wink.png

 

[Smurf]

Crafty @Tuffers or they just might use it on everything else inside their home apart from the sills /emoticons/biggrin.png
