Default Window cleaning

Hi all,

Now its started to warm up (we hope) and the days are longer. The dreaded algae has started to cover our window and frame. What does everyone use to clean the inside of the glass and stainless frame?

Regards Mark & Claire

If the algae won't shift with a sponge try a piece of japmat.

Hi
I use a plastic car window scraper that you use to get the ice off the window,but you do get your arm wet.

Cheers Mark,

I've been looking for one of those for a while but could only find one that would work on glass upto 20mm and ours is 22mm. Just the recessed frame to sort.

Regards Mark
