Default easy off could cost you.

Rob, I would be carfull with the Easy Off. It is caustic and could cause damage. It will remove paint on wood and will yellow vinyl framed windows. If you are removing screen 'burn' I would recomend a product called Cyrstal Clear 550 (CC 550 in window cleaning trade) made by Winsol Labritories. It is slightly acidic and is great for removing mineral deposits and metal oxidation (screen burn).

I like th idea of avoiding mineral deposits in the first place - I'm going to try the cascade in my cleaning solution.

Thanks, Tim

Default window haze

My God you guys are scaring the hell out of me...lol. Im not sure how you would take the window haze off. But i can tell you one thing. If they are calling you to come pw their home, its pretty dirty. Most people in my area are not interested in chemicals sprayed all over hell and gone. When i say i just use plain water, they get really excited that nothing is going to harm their plants, kids, pets, the ground. Really i think most people are thrilled to death just to have the dust and minor dirt taken off of their house. Why take a chance on damaging a window pane or spotting some metals on the home. You would be suprised on what plain ol' water will do. And water doesnt cost much...

Mark,
Are you saying that water is all you wash a house with or did I misunderstand?

Thanks

Mark, Would you take a bath without using soap? Plain water will not clean and if I were paying to have my house washed I would want it to be clean. A rinse aid aloung with a little wax will take care of the windows. The wax we use has a drying agent in it that will make a big difference with spots. The rinse aid was devoloped for washing cars on lots without chemicals and to create a spot free finish.

Mark,

I wholeheartedly disagree with tha theory. But, to each his own.

Do you wash your dishes, hands, or your truck without soap also? Plain old water doesnt cut it there, same thing with house washing.

It's really not all that hard to come up with a cleaning solution that doesnt damage a home................and, once you do, you will find that not only will your houses come up cleaner, but you will be able to wash them much faster. Give it a try.

Richard,What were you cleaning off of house,dirt and mildew? If so ,I would suggest a mixture of truck wash(if really needed)and pool chlorine applied through your downstream.Be sure to rinse before it dries. As far as getting rid of film on windows it all depends on what you used in your cleaning solution. I've been washing houses for about 20 years and have seldom had to use soap. Most homes are just covered with dust and mildew. With my experience the less chemical used,the less liability you encounter. joel wilcox
