Cleaning oily restauraunt windows

What is best thing to add to water to help to clean very oily (vegetable oil, finger prints) neglected restaurant windows.

I assume in cases like this dish soap cuts the grease better than GG4, anything else I should add to the water?

For restaurants, I just add more dawn to my squirt bottle. It’s a tip from PolznBlades, but I put a little bit of soap in the bucket and then only add soap to my squirt bottle as needed. For restaurants I add more for the insides.

I’ve started using tsp and soap in a bottle just for insides of restaurants like those. Works really well.

I have yet to try it myself but I asked and old timer that cleans restaurants all the time and he said he brings a spray bottle of crud cutter.

SKRUB and sodium hydroxide crystals. Just a few.

You can add ammonia to your water, and it does a great job cutting grease. I buy the lemon-scented version, so the smell isn’t terrible. If it’s only a few windows, and you don’t want it in your water, you can just splash a little on your strip washer just before you wash the window.

For heavy grease - i use a heavy duty “dish soap” cleaning liquid, with a porcupine sleeve (HOT water also helps)

Finish off with GG3.

(assuming this is a one time heavy duty clean?)

Pre spray the really bad ones with simple green…it melts the grease. Buy the lemon scented one…
