Question:

How can I clean Georgian and leaded windows

Answer:

The best way I have found to clean Georgian and leaded windows whether wet or dry is with an 8" or 6" squeegee. If you don't have one, cut down one of your old ones.  If you don't have a small applicator, just take the sleeve off the one you have and use that.

With leaded windows I would use the applicator, ring out as much water as I could, then pulled the squeegee down them and touched up with the scrim.  This way the applicator is taking away most of the dirt, the squeegee is taking the rest of the dirt to the bottom of the window, and the scrim just touches up what is left behind.  

The above methods work equally good whether the windows are wet or dry before you start.  As you know working with a scrim is not much good if there is water on the glass.

Please note, I would sometimes just use a scrim, if the window was dry, and had very little dirt on it.
