Spray bottle question?

Hey guys, still a newbie here but am loving the window cleaning. My question is for thise of you who use spray bottles? Do you guys just use straight water and put soap on the strip washer? If you do mix soap in the bottle, what ratio do you guys use?

I have been playing around and really like using the spray bottle vs the bucket, just trying fine tune now.

Okay, now that was just silly.

Same solution, just in a bottle instead. Ratio depends on what solution you’re using, and preference.

Ok thanks, I think…

I should have been more clear. Was also asking how mix my (in the bottle) dawn lol…as I am all over the map when mixing…

Didn’t mean silly?

Are you attempting to go completely bucket free? Or just bottle for the interior glass?

I make a gallon of solution. In a old windshield wiper bottle. One i carry is a gg4. The other is a unger mix… If you use the unger mix in a spray bottle. You’ll need a chem resistant bottle. It will trash a chezzy $1 spray bottle… ( from wally world ) spend a little more for a better sprayer.
you’ll be happier…

Anyway i use gg4 in a spray bottle for interior (not exterior)… I fill it from my gallon mix. Fill my bucket on a belt from the gallon container as well… Just me but found i like carrying a gallon bottle around. Or placed strategically some where to come back to. verse a bucket… don’t waste as much product that way.

gg4 or unger is 3-4 caps to make a gallon mix

I put a little “glurp” of soap in a bottle of tap water. Less is more in this scenario.

Sometimes, when I’m feeling froggy, I’ll load up my 2 gallon bug sprayer with solution and keep refilling from that.

“Glurp” ??

Guys… this sounds a little, eh… nevermind, you two have fun :rolleyes:

Dange-Dave would say that “Glurp” is a highly technical, ‘Son of Ettore’ term. LOL!!

As far as the question goes, mix solution in large bucket and then fill a squirt bottle. (My semi-arthritic hands don’t like repeated squeezing of a spray trigger. :slight_smile: )

You lot should get into spraying glass down with a Sprayer ( a good sprayer ) especially you wagtail users and those guys doing residential… you really dont know what your missing !!! … personally i would ditch the soap unless you aim is to spray and then squeegee straight off…

when you spray down the glass people your washer glides over the glass . you are not just applying fresh water to the glass you are saving yourself a load of energy because there is much less friction…spray the glass down and go over in a two handed method. washer leading then squeegeeing off straight off … it really is quick…

you have the wrong sprayer … you need the sprayer i use … in fact you all need the sprayer i use… sorry to be blunt just trying to cover some ground here…

The Gloria? What model # was that?

Is it one of the pump-up and squeezee/hold the handle types?

Yes the pump up ones… its not taxing and does strain your body like the wrist / hand ones…

Gloria hobby 125 with straight / fixed nozzle head . ( not the hobby 125 with flexible head that has considerably less power )

I think I’ve watched some of your videos. Do you usually put some soap directly on your washer?

Do you use the pump up sprayer INSIDE homes? If so, can you give me some advice on how to avoid making a mess?

Thanks! I’m really interested in using a sprayer this year.

I am interested too… Especially if it saves time!

Thanks John.

Everything I come up with when I search has the adjustable nozzle.

It’s an adjective we window cleaners use as a unit of measure.
