Hey…
Eesh. That’s one of those ‘universe always balances out’ type things…
Some guy.
Somewhere.
Right now… is making a ‘sucks to be HIM’ joke.
-about the guy he saw scraping bird sh@t off the windows of his double-wide.
Do it the way Steve has mentioned that’s the best way.
when i was cleaning windows in Hawaii we used steel wool most of the time and sometimes the tricket. They are very common over there… Get a hold of Ernie @ QUALITY WINDOW CLEANING in Hawaii. He is very knowledgeable.
be very careful with these they are expensive my niece drove the riding tractor it our at our cottage and broke about 6. it was about 200 bucks to replace
sometimes you need to try everything in order to find out what works best for you, Me personally have purchased the tricket and found out that it is useless, but had I not purchased it I could not say that I tried everything. So the experience that I gained far out weighted the $25 price tag.
The jealouisie in your photos are the clear type, those are a pain because its hard to get them smear free and streak free, atleast until you get your method down. There is another common type of jealouisie that has a snowy finish on one side that distorts the clear view which is a little more forgiving.
I several ways of tackling these but the most common way is to use a wet rag (i use microfiber).
- start on the top and wipe both sides of all glasses till you get to the bottom. this first pass is to get all the dirt off
- second pass I use another wet/damp rag but a clean one this is to get the glass damp again. do both sides of the top three.
- switch to a clean dry microfiber and wipe the water off both sides of the top three glass, this should leave the glass looking sparkling.
you will go through a few towels but this is what has been working for me, in fact it works so well that I have become pretty efficient and actually look forward to doing them.
good luck
Those are called Jalouise (jal o see) windows and the are now pretty rare in Ny more common in the south. I ve done them by hand for years but the WFP is great on them. Pre wash both sides with Glass Gleam 4 especially the metal clasps, then use the long, soft Unger n lit brush , undersides first. Oh, before you do any of this, clean the back edge with a microfiber cloth. Let the under side stop dripping, WFP the top sides. They should be done but later when dry, check for spots from the metal clasps, hit em with a clean microfiber. I have whole sunrooms of these and got really good at them. Keep the water flow very low, no water in the house. They re easy
They’re called jalousie windows and they are a pain. I see them a lot in AZ.
