Wise minds think alike!! I always put a dash of GG4 in my solution . And a dash of Ecover. To keep my water hot I use a picnic hamper, not a bucket. The hamper is rectangle and has a tight fitting lid. Before I started using it I tested it out. I put boiling hot water in it and left it for 8 hrs out in the garden. It was - 5c. The water was still hot !!
Agreed! The moreman squeeze is pretty good, but it was hard to use on big windows on the summer. Expensive but the bottle is built to be reused which is good. GC4 in the water aswell is a great tip. I’ll definitely be needing that next summer :)
i've never tried GG4 but it sounds quite good. Personally think the bottle is the best part of the Moerman Squeeze. i just keep the bottle and fill it with fairy Platinum.
Kain Ørnø In the Uk you find it in Asda. Aldi also do one called Magnum premium/platinum I can’t remember but it’s basically the same thing but cheaper 👍
If you want a good degreaser for smokers houses and bad kitchen windows etc, use ub10 from clover in a spray bottle, give the glass and frames a quick spray then clean as normal. The amount you actually need to use makes it very cheap, it's biodegradable and will save a lot of time and effort.
Hi mac. Use to love the moerman. And decided to find something similar or better went through dozens of different solutions and found that home bargains sold a specific 500ml summer rose ( exactly same smell as moerman) orchard and bloom collection. Selling for about 87p. It’s exactly the same as the moerman solution. BUT didn’t dry out for me in the summer. Really tackled the dirt well. For that price give it a try. I now fill my old moerman bottles up with the stuff. Would never by the squeeze again because of it.
Chris Cottle Putting soap straight on the applicator is fairly common where I am from. It depends how much soapy suds you like on the glass I suppose.😃👍🏼
I found the same with the moerman bottle. Some cleaners really like it. I think the solution is good. I put the soap in a empty small Dawn bottle. It seems to control how much I put on my applicator. It just takes a small amount. I found that mixing 50/50 or 1 to 1, gg4 and Unger Easy Glide. I add about 3 drops on my wet applicator and i find that it gives the right amount of glide and cleaning power for my traditional work.as always great videos Ashley.. hope this comment helps someone.
Rod Maidens Nice one. I try to keep things simple as much as possible, but my traditional solution is something that has gradually changed over time.😃👍🏼
Go to b&q They sell indoor window cleaning solution but £3.75 for a bottle but read the ingredients and it is the same and same company as squeegee off but branded differently. I put a squirt in the bucket and a bit of fairy and job done. Half the price but same stuff and even says on the bottle can be used outside also. H&g it is but they are the same company as squeegee off.
I tried GG4 when I first started out but didn’t like it and quickly settled on Ecover which I’ve used ever since. I also like that it’s plant based and good for the environment, and my customers like it when I tell them I’m looking after there garden by using environmentally friendly detergent.
i used GG4 and GG3 from last year.. well.. nothing compare.. keep in mind science. GG3, 4 have wetting improve which mean easy dilute dirty in liquide... wetting a'd emulsifier are 2 strong ability for cleaning surface. not mu h sud? ok.. but bubble sometime can miss some area to pick up dirt... and i dont contest washing up are not clean good but i say.. are hardly rinse, which affect detaili g and postcleaning.... even i have free wash soap i dont use... GG3, 4 and sometime i put Unger Easy glide.. works better for me with Power Pivot Wagtail... 2. DONT use to much GG4.. owner say to keep original dilution, to much mean to much degreaser, less glide.. GG4 have degrease effect which GG3 no.. only for kitchen, food area, smoke use Fairy or other soap.. in restuse GG4.. at right dilution not aprox and works... remeber.. wetting and emulsifier count.. along rinse easly from softening
Tom Navarro I start with hot water but that’s it, when it gets cold it’s cold. Occasionally a customer might allow us to refill with hot but generally we will top up with cold from an outside tap.💦😃👍🏼
Thank for give time Window cleaner guides. i say you a #fieldforcetracker is best software your window cleaner guys to mane online work order and tracker working daintily with hand phone
Hey mate, hope your well, I've bought gg4 for the first time for the slip mainly, I've bought the little dispenser that has 5ml on what ratio would you recommend please Ash.
I think the recommended dose should be on the bottle. I have to say that I stopped using the little measuring dispenser thing and now I go be feel, I just put a good glug straight from the bottle into the bucket.😃👍🏼
I only ever use glass gleam 4 in a bucket of pure water, and would never ever use dish soap, and defo not on the washer, soap leaves a thin film on the window and a sure way to get rainbows.
Okay this stuff is total crap. Even talk to the manufacturer used it correctly and it still left the biggest Haze on 22 mirrors I've ever seen in my life. Tried using less, more, adding dawn etc...yes the window stayed wet but still total crap.

Keith Baron Nice move!😃👍🏼
Big fan of GG4. Use it by itself in the bucket. For bad first cleans or smokers I add a dash of Ubix 2000. GG solar is good for panels if you do any.
Green Pro Clean Ltd Thanks 😃👍🏼
I've learned everything I need from your playlist. I'm now off to buy a ladder and utensils.
I wish you all the best with your business plans.😃👍🏼
You do a great job and use good gear as I say got to spend a bit to make a bit take care godbless you carl in london

Luke Kuszpit Nice one.😃👍🏼
where do you find fairy platinum?
Kain Ørnø In the Uk you find it in Asda. Aldi also do one called Magnum premium/platinum I can’t remember but it’s basically the same thing but cheaper 👍

Jacob Ash That’s a great tip, thanks. To be honest, I’m running out of space in my van with all the specialist little tools and solutions.😃👍🏼

I’ve window cleaned for nearly 30 years and have never come across anyone putting liquid straight on the queegee
Chris Cottle Putting soap straight on the applicator is fairly common where I am from. It depends how much soapy suds you like on the glass I suppose.😃👍🏼
and in 45 years of window cleaning i have never heard of a queegue
😃👍🏼
Quite common where I am from.

Great tips. I don’t do a lot of trad but it’s good to know for when I get the odd insides. 👍
Go to b&q
They sell indoor window cleaning solution but £3.75 for a bottle but read the ingredients and it is the same and same company as squeegee off but branded differently.
I put a squirt in the bucket and a bit of fairy and job done.
Half the price but same stuff and even says on the bottle can be used outside also.
H&g it is but they are the same company as squeegee off.
PureClean Exterior Cleaning Oh yeah, I’ve used a few of those products from there. They are pretty good. Nice one.😃👍🏼

Kevin McCawley It’s always good to earn a few extra brownie points with the customers.😃👍🏼
always great stuff here............

Torcea Catalin Good tips. Thanks.😃👍🏼
Hi great video, How do you keep your water hot when your out working?
Tom Navarro I start with hot water but that’s it, when it gets cold it’s cold. Occasionally a customer might allow us to refill with hot but generally we will top up with cold from an outside tap.💦😃👍🏼
Great video. Might have to try GG4. Used to use GG3 but kept getting a lot of white streaks with it. Do you get this problem with the GG4?
whofan1989 No never. I would say that it’s more likely going to be down to the rubber blade on your squeegee that causes that.😃👍🏼
Thank for give time Window cleaner guides. i say you a #fieldforcetracker is best software your window cleaner guys to mane online work order and tracker working daintily with hand phone
Shophia Pena Great. Thanks 😃👍🏼
Why don’t you just put one squirt like you did in the Center of the mop ? It will work in to the mop once you scrub the window?
MWC X I do usually, but I wanted to show me making several tries to get the smallest amount I could manage.😃👍🏼
I like the gg4 defo helps in summer
You ever tryed the squeeze off?
LJ's window cleaning world I just got some Ettore Squeegee off. But every time I try to stop using GG4 I just miss it too much!😃👍🏼
B&q sell it as h&g interior glass cleaner.
They are part of ettore and going by the ingredients it is the exact same stuff.
£3.75 a bottle.
U using Fairy original or Fairy Platinum? Great video!
Avalanche Window Cleaning Original. I buy big 5litre bottles from my local wholesalers so I always have plenty in store.😃👍🏼

@@aemackintosh cheers for reply mate, yeah I'm All for a good glug or best guess lol, thanks again.
I only ever use glass gleam 4 in a bucket of pure water, and would never ever use dish soap, and defo not on the washer, soap leaves a thin film on the window and a sure way to get rainbows.
GG4 is actually formulated especially for hard water. You should try GG3.😜👍🏼
@@aemackintosh yes i have tried gg3, but its more expensive then gg4. Stop being a fairy with your fairy 🧚♀️😛👍
What is fairy liquid? Is that slang for dish soap?
👍🏻
Ryan Fewster 💦😃👍🏼
Great videos, were do i get GG4?
Hey, thanks. You should be able to get GG4 from most good window cleaning supplier, but I put a link in the description.💦😃👍🏼
if its better just put it in a empty fairy liquid bottle to avoid that nozzle
Yeah, I keep breaking the lids from the fairy bottles though!😬👍🏼
Okay this stuff is total crap. Even talk to the manufacturer used it correctly and it still left the biggest Haze on 22 mirrors I've ever seen in my life. Tried using less, more, adding dawn etc...yes the window stayed wet but still total crap.
Travis Leonard I’ve never had a problem with it leaving a haze. Maybe it depends on how dirty the windows are?😃👍🏼
Screen wash
Yep.👍🏼
