Hey fellas.
Bit bored here so thought I'd write up a little post/question/bit of personal experience.
Basically since I started window cleaning a few months ago my scraper was one of the silver unger ones that a friend gave me - the other day tho I was buying some new kit on wintecs and thought hey why not get a new one/my own one so I ended up buying a 6inch ettore one - and I'm really glad I did
It does the same job as the little 4cm scraper for removing bird poop and etc but where I have found it severely useful is wherever I come to do a first clean or a window which is really filthy, I just soap up the window and scrape the whole thing - on first cleans it's really good because you know 100% you're getting rid of all fly squats, bits of stuck on stuff, everything, and it basically works almost as well as a squeegee, so I can see the bits ive done. Once I've scraped the window I soap up and squeegee off again and because the window is so clean from the scraper the squeegee really flies - leaves the windows beautifully clean.
It does take longer than usual of course but I'm convinced it's the way to go to ensure quality and it's gotta be quicker than going back with a scrim to scrub out all those little fly squats and etc.
Anyone got any thoughts / views?
