Adding dish soap to my applicator was an absolute game changer for me! For about 5 years I was just mixing it with water in the bucket 🤣

Gotta have a good slip with the Liquidator channels. Working with a pole is a pain if it's squeaking and sticking. That's when I first noticed issues with the blue NXT rubber, squeegee stuck to the glass and wouldn't move lol. Squeeze deluxe and moerman soft rubber is a winner every time. Great vid 👍

I used this stuff years ago and liked it until I got a bottle that was much thinner and less effective, it did however teach me to soap the applicator. Currently using the Squeeze Deluxe with Excelerator/Liquidator and loving it. Shame I hardly use a squeegy these days, if only I had a Liquidator back in the day. 🙂

How're the Unger Gel's grease-cutting properties? (Fingerprints etc). Does it stay wet longer in direct sun and on hot days? (Like GG4 etc). Does the wind dry it out much? (Compared to dish soap).
@TradMan4 жыл бұрын
It stays wet longer than dish soap and yeah good cleaning power, its only real downside is the slip on the glass is not quite enough for precision squeegees but works fine for all other squeeges 👍🏻😊

Hi Peter respect, good review again. Dish soap has been on my mind lately. working with the moerman Liquidator is amazing as I know you will agree. Bought two bottles of Moerman soap £9 per bottle adding a little bit of that in with fairy liquid, that's my go to at the moment and I'm wondering if I am going to use long term , the moerman soap or not. I really do like the moerman soap, the smell is amazing, you only need a very small amount, and works perfectly with the moerman squeegees. I am not keen on gels or soaps that don't whiten up enough. I don't think Fairy liquid is even good enough . I am on a quest to find the most white suds I can find, and if there is anybody out there or even yourself that has found anything like that, I would be grateful. Soap is important to me when window cleaning, the customers appreciate a nice soap on the windows, the whiter the better.

I do know someone here in germany who uses LEWI Gel and Moerman tools and seems to get along well with it :) But yeah all these üprofessional soaps also differ in quality and slip. Many of these professional soaps tend to leave the glass cleaner longer tho compared to dish soap.

I don't think the issue is with the squeegee buddy its the rubber if you have a different grade or brand of rubber you will find it performs differently in different circumstances. I have soft Pulex... Moerman and unger and they all perform different and I've tested them with the same mop and on the same window after it was cleaned.... Very Scientific test lol.
@jenspaulus90084 жыл бұрын
I only use the unger gel for cleaning indoor windows because it drips less. But in my opinion the applicator dry's out to quick. I clean a lot of modern houses with big windows , so I need to make my applicator wet again for many times. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong ?

To be honest I've not noticed that issue but for me the glide just wasn't quite as good as premium dish soaps
