What's so special about ecover?

[Dave B]

Why does salt bother you so much?

Fairy lime and lemongrass for me now. Works a treat, and no need to add anything.

near the sea i think it goes on the windows so thinking harder to clean with product that has salt in it

GG4

do you use GG4 @Ackroyd?

 

[Dave B]

Maybe norm but if it is made to lift off dirt it should still dissolve the salt on the glass

Same as removing oil with wd40 which is oil so to speak but I get what you mean now

2 for £2 in tescos at the moment matey. :thumbsup:

Ecover is 2.25 for a litre and flash is a quid in poundland (funny that)

3.25 sounds a lot but I pre mix it and put in a fairy bottle and apply to porcupine as needed only water in bucket..recent change but I am using minimal liquid all day so lasting ages

I'm starting to think so mate. Slips much better.

I still think slip is down to water in your area as well as solution

Boar says ecover don't slip but it is the best I have used

Hi, good post, I will use ecover. So the flash you by what one is it exactly?

Also, whats your process with bucket and water and applying the liquid? do you add it in the buc ket and mix it up a bit or dip in the aplicator and add some liquid to it when wet. Please could someone walk me through, seems there alot of different ways. The guy that does our windows at present will no longer once I am going, but he seems to just have water no soap and its just leaving lines on all sides its awful.

Thank you, I was just unsure how/when you aply the liquid and flash. I would have added it to the bucke with water in and mix it all around so soapyish, then maybe add some to the applicator, pre mixed.

Any vids on setting up you water liquid for the day ???? good for us newbies

Cleaning trad can use a lot of cleaning product due to changing water once dirty..especially if you have new cleans

I put plain water in my bucket and dip applicator then shake off excess then apply a line of ecover/flash mix direct on to applicator ..enough to do a house if it isn't 106° outside.....summer just do more regular and leave applicator wetter
