How To Clean Windows

Tesco Rambler · 08-03-2013, 00:08

I learned this from a vicar, a female vicar at that. The best way to clean windows is to get the muck off with water. Then, when the window is cleanish and not dripping wet, use last nights Evening Telegraph, or other appropriate newspaper, scrunched up as a cleaning cloth on the glass. I can assure one and all that it will come up lovely. Sparkling like.

I thought that was common knowledge.

Sue...you are right....I thought it was common knowledge too.
White vinegar in water and a shammy(chamois leather) also brings them up sparkling....failing that, let the window cleaner earn his keep.

There aren't many places outside of prison walls where a person can meet a vicar of either sex.

If it is the person we suspect, he's mocking the system by putting the name of a supermarket in his user name!

Yep, the vinegar trick is good too.

Our window cleaner certainly earns his keep - there are 15 windows on our fourstorey house, plus the UPVC front and back doors, which he cleans with one of those long pole systems. He has charged us £10 a time for this ever since we came here six years ago. But then he is a nice chap.

Well we already have somebody using a racist name in his user name, what next the pole dance club

In this case I suspect the use of the supermarket's name has a more specific allusion, if I understand Less and Cashy's drift...

If it was to be the case, would suggest "Not the brightest lamp in the street"? Someone else may even suggest "Runs in the family"
