I’ve done that one too. I’m glad I’m not the only one to need to do that though. None available at this one, though.
with yur sarcasm we should have been brothers(lets not forget about Larry) Triplets Baby!
And that residue would be “anchor points” for even more dirt to stick to.
hey now don’t lump me in with your unprepared self! I never said I had DONE it! Just throwing some hypothetical theoretical worst-case-scenario kind of… okay yeah. You’re right. I may have done it once.
Dang it. I carefully worded my post to avoid admitting I was unprepared. Now you called me out. Guilty, your honor.
Once u may have remembered. Yur busy and getting older. We all are… Yur honor!
With GG3 you only have to use 1/10 of an ounce per gallon of water. So it cost almost nothing for GG 3 and it does make the windows look better and the frames will look good when you get done so it will save you time. It makes no difference to me what you do I’m just saying.
What we love about u brother.
I am getting samples of GG3 and will try it on really soiled windows. My feeling is it will not work any better than dish soap or ungers cheap soap I get at home depot. I think the only thing that can really clean a dirty window is a razor.
Seriously, why do you even bother to ask for our input? Just buy a bunch of razors then and stop re-asking the same questions about soap, dirt anchoring and squeegee size.
I feel like I have been high-fived.
In the face.
With a chair.
Made out of steel.
With the recent postings by o/p.
Keep it simple, do not over micro manage, this is window cleaning, do not let someone else dictate your pricing.
Love
Because I keep hearing conflicting advice but after reading all the comments, I am now convinced using a razor to scrape any tempered glass is just asking for trouble. No reliable way as been said to razor a window without risk of scratching it. I have seen for myself my Ettore 6" scraper when scraping does not sit flat on window. should have bought a shorter blade.
You went full circle in just a couple of hours. You don’t even need the rest of us.
Hey Tony, I got conflicting answers and after reading several comments, it seems that there is no safe way to scrape a window without possibly scratching. One person said scrape lightly, you hear no gritty sound that means no FD, but then someone else said that is bs. I originally felt that the only way to clean a window was scraping but evidently I was wrong

A smart man once told me " You can read 100 books on how to build a cabinet, but you won’t know anything until you pick up a hammer"
Alright, gonna ask this in a sincere manner:
Why is it that every time there is a question on this topic that nothing is mentioned about the other variable component of the cleaning solution - the water? Specifically, doesn’t the quality of (and/or source of) the water affect how well one soap works vs another? I would think that a water source with higher TDS’s is going to need a higher ratio of soap to the mix in order to (balance?) it the same effectiveness as a source with lower TDS’s. I would think that overall slip would be effected for the same reason. There is also the issue of weather/job conditions with regards to perhaps what I face in central Ohio vs what Mark Strange deals with in Canada vs what Phil faces in Idaho vs Dange Dave deals with in Washington vs etc, etc, etc… So there’s never going to be a truly correct answer that applies to all because the variables are not the same for all of us, right?
Just wondering because the water I use comes from a 514’ deep well (from the “Big Engine” below). It is naturally soft, which is not the same as the “soft” that comes from a man-made filtering process. In addition, I don’t deal with flourides, chlorides, and a whole bunch of other “ides” that are found in a municipal water source. But aren’t these factors just as important when figuring out what will work best for a given situation?
Sincerely…
I’ll have to try something pro-grade. I’m getting tired of BUBBLES, and having to detail them out of seals and edges. My sea sponge turns into an Ibiza foam party with Dawn.
Just use less soap. If you’re using soap only, there is a sweet spot where you get a good clean and slip without having to dig bubbles out of everything. It’s easier to add more soap than to try and work with too much soap.
