Tips:
Just type in ECOVER in eBay search and yes… Yer gonna haveta scroll

Might be now :wink:

I’m still trying to figure out how the addition of glycerin into Ecover is going to affect its end result.

This.

Anyone have any proof that it’s better/worse?

Yes. For me, in specific circumstances related to my area, on specific jobs during certain times of the day and especially the winter, summer as well, the new Ecover suuuucked about 2 out of 5 times. But that’s just me.

because? suds to much/not enough? glide? residue? bleeding?

Haze. Almost like there was too much soap. I went back to dawn and no problems in the same ratios.

Which do you like better Dawn, or the old Ecover?

Ecover. It didn’t tear up my hands like dawn does.

Ok
I am a NO GLYCINE GUY
No dawn
It has to do with the residue left on the windows.
Years ago I took a test swabs of just done windows to a lab to test to see what residue was left from squeege ring.
To make a long story short
( and this is a long story )
ALL squeegeed windows leave residue.
I have found that the glycerine residue does not attract dust particles, but it does not let dust particles Bounce off the glass in wind.
I.e. They collect dust faster Makeing my windows dirty faster.
That’s why I am not a glycerine guy
Some window cleaners want to go back and clean customers dirty windows.
I like to go back and keep my customers windows clean
So no glycerine for me.
It’s also easy to smear and adds to my detail work.
This is it in a nutshell for me .
If youse really want I can try to dig out lab tests I did years ago.
and controls I did if I can find them.
Not saying glycerine is bad.
It’s just bad for me and my style of perfection
Peace

Although we use no method that make windows dirtier, faster, I do enjoy repeat clients.

Used Dawn for 3 year with no problems. To each his own though.

I in no way meant to insinuate anything with my glycerine dislike.
I was just trying to get the gist of a looong story out in a short time.
I was in Hays County at a burger joint set up to receive donations from the flood tapping that out.
My company donated funds to the flood cause.
It was while here that I realized just how insignificant glycerine is when compared to death and life struggles

I think what he is trying to say is. With route customers there scheduled already to go each month on weekly, bi-weekly, or 1x a month so it’s easier if they are cleaner rather then dirtier.

I would have to say yes/no. I mean if its weekly how much dirt is it that makes a difference in how hard it is to clean same for bi-weekly.

Resi like you say . Now that I think about it switch to dawn. I want them calling me back sooner then later.

I was wondering why the new ecover kept smearing. I thought it was just me.

Thanks for helping us out!

I haven’t seen much difference. Suds more and leaves streaks but nothing worth fussing about for me.

Worth fussing about for me, especially for resi. I’m pretty sick of the new ecover
