Good thinking, plus a cup of common Vinegar diluted in a bucket of warm water, done and dusted
It's a winner, make no mistake about that

Probably much cheaper with no effort on you part
. . . . and you would be putting bread on a deservedly fellow beings table
Graham, I would employ one tomorrow if I could find one that is half decent, the last one got his marching orders

Re: Karcher window cleaner
The last window cleaner we had couldn't do the upstairs windows. H&S reasons.!! He started using a long brush on a hose pipe which cleaned them ok but by the time they dried they were all smears.

Re: Karcher window cleaner
My karcher came earlier this morning - OMG it's FANTASTIC! I charged it up and have already cleaned everything within sight indoors and would have done outdoors too but for the torrential rain!
Thank you all so much for recommending ths wonder. It's soooo much easier than any other method and after three cleans,will be cheaper than a window cleaner

Re: Karcher window cleaner
Oh Gill - thank goodness. I said on Tuesday that I would have to carry on 'tomorrow'. We all know tomorrow never comes
Well, I have just done my upstairs windows and I was thinking about you, wondering if yours had arrived.
I'm so glad you are Sooooooooo Happy
You may know this, as it has been mentioned on here, but there is a smaller blade available. I find it great for some of the opening lights. Plus, it is lighter.

Yep - and then you will be able to write that book you have been dreaming about "Things You Can Do With A Karcher"

Re: Karcher window cleaner
I can recommend the smaller blade too - it is just the right width for the doors on the showers and as Jean says it is lighter to handle - going to use mine this afternoon to clean the bathrooms after my visitors.Jean W wrote:

I think this is the only tool I've bought that I can truly say it "does what it says on the tin"

Re: Karcher window cleaner
I've had mine for a couple of weeks, but because I've been really busy, have just tried it out this morning for the first time. It's brilliant. No smears!! I don't think my windows have been this clean since they were first put in. How sad am I to find this so exciting!

Re: Karcher window cleaner

after visiting the newly built batcave over the weekend, I now realise I have rather more windows to clean than we do in the current lair and after reading, cogitating and digesting all the posts on here, I have bitten the bullet and.............
BOUGHT 2 SODDIN WASH CLOTHS

Re: Karcher window cleaner
err let me think about that Moby................no couldn't care less about the neighbours, unless they ponce up with a window washing machine, in which case words may be exchanged, along the lines of "you paid how much you gulible fool, ever heard of elbow grease and a bucket of water? lazy bugger"

We just have large glass panels on our walk-in showers and it cleans/ dies both them and the tiles in seconds.Jan Rosser wrote:I can recommend the smaller blade too - it is just the right width for the doors on the showers and as Jean says it is lighter to handle - going to use mine this afternoon to clean the bathrooms after my visitors.

Re: Karcher window cleaner
Well ... we recently got a £48 one free with our Nectar Points
It's worth its weight in GOLD.
I have been doing a lot of painting these past few weeks and the frosty mornings have resulted in higher than normal levels of condensation ... guess what ... it laps it up and with very little effort at all on my part.
ps ... there is no way Mobietta is getting her hands on this little gem

Re: Karcher window cleaner
We've just bought a steam cleaner - not a Karcher one, and it makes doing the windows so easy it's beyond belief. I have to agree, it's a lovely little invention.
