mike for store fronts its would be too much time . but you will know by instinct … but i still recommend rinsing in plain water. the suds from the washer will automatically add soap after the first rinse anyway … plus the bottle of pure water with ecover or choice solution is the best idea Imo but its all personal choice… but its good to try alternatives because the proofs in the pudding ( trying it yourself )
Regards John
John,
I’ll be knocking your ideas around for sure, especially on residential jobs.
Can someone fix the vid so the rest of us can watch it?
The video has been removed. Buy a bottle, if you don’t like it, use it for your dishes.
I think now that John is seeing great interest from the WCR forum, he might be worried his local competition is watching as well. Hence, the removal of the video. But like I mention in an earlier post, I don’t think what you’ve got in your bucket will make or break your business or crush the competition.
For me, this soap is great because it’s a joy to work with.
Thats exactly it mark !.. i have few people here who were working with my company and have gone self employed… and are competition… with a city of 500,000 we had just one company doing what we do . now its roughly 5 times more and expanding… its not a significant thing . but my gut instinct says just better if they dont have this… personally this speeds up your job on inside resi when the heating is on and the sun is shining…before you could put out 10,000 flyers and get maybe 100 interested as example… so if you have 5 doing the same thing the interest is cut… there fore you need flyers that are done with thought…all the more reason to do as good a job as you can and be as professional as you can.
I got some today. Tried it out with microfibers (my WC gear is in my partners garage) and it does seem to give good shine with little/no smearing.
I hope this works as good as this thread indicates. I just bought 6 for the free shipping.
I’ve been using Ecover for a week now… the stuff is awesome.
There you go short and to the point !
Micah (and others) What mix ratio are you using. Quarter oz to a little less than 2 gals (my bucket holds 7 quarts on each side) seemed to work really well for me, what about you guys?
I’m still playing around with the mix ratio… but I’m not too technical with it. A little bit goes a long way though.
I’m a big GG4 fan so I’ve been adding 1/4 oz to my two gallon bucket of GG4 instead of Dawn.
Yesterday I started with about 2 quick squirts added to just less than 3 gallons of water. Part way through I added a quick squirt and that was it. Did me for one whole mid size house in/out. Including screens.
Today i will see what it’s like when I add a quick squirt to my GG4 mix.
As you can see, I’m not one to do exact measuring. When I say “quick squirt”, it means squeeze the bottle equal to the amount of time it takes you to say the word “squirt” quickly.
Mark, why did you add a third squirt part way through?
But do you actually SAY “squirt” out loud as you are squirting…?
I have found that the Ecover cuts through fingerprints without the use of ammonia. It also removes tape residue like you wouldn’t believe. I also like the fact that the scent is very subtle, unlike Dawn.
I may stick to the GG for residential, as I’m not sure if the ecover leaves a residue or not yet. But for commercial where I’m back before residue has a chance to collect a lot of dust/dirt, the ecover is my new soap.
ah no, at least I don’t think so. Maybe that’s why that huge bodybuilder gave me a dirty look the other day. Thought I called him a squirt! Lol
These windows were really bad. All the frames were filthy too. I think after a while my solution was losing some of it’s punch. I could have dumped that water and started fresh again but with the amount of windows left in the job I felt it was just quicker to add another squirt.
Mark, thanks. I bought a bottle yesterday and realized it is nothing like 7th generation dish washing liquid, which I thought it would be. It is more like TSP and GG4. I haven’t tested it thoroughly yet, but I am impressed.
