right my honest opinion on ecover, it is good as a trad detergent, nothing spectacular but good enough, you still have to use the tools right whether the windows remain clean for longer I will see and I changed my water tonight Stu get that vinegar in it  you will notice the reason why in the long run! |

the only problem is if the Plant based washing up liquid goes viral.. the competition will be getting hold of it and that could come back shoot us in the foot...... personally i would keep hush about it and not let the other firms in your area on catch on about it .

I agree, although I am not at all convinced it is the magical "solution" I definately will not be sharing it with the opposition. |

ive been using the last few days and for Residential inside and out i have never seen better results as with this ....... defo keep this hush . if it goes viral and all the world knows you wont profit anyway apart from the competition doing a better job...... and maybe evenn house wives them selves cleaning there own windows let alone the the possible fact that due to the less residue content windows stay cleaner longer... catch 22......... great find james.......

ive just stated on the other forum that this is james from scotlands find and any body who profits from this . will have to at least give a kick back to James.. some might say that is not possible.. but logic says it is because its fair ! and ime serious about that ! because i do see it kicking off ! things like this really wee me off when they profit off the backs of others....... but if it coms to the crunch.. i will be with james because he really does deserve something.....
this is special basically because because with out his soap what is a window cleaner....this soap works with all squeegees.. sörbos in heated rooms . ( could never do that before to all windows due too much rubber burn and too much residue in the other solutions on sale ).....
its is special and one of the best finds in recent history for trad window cleaners..... period

Yes most people can do a fair job. this will help them greatly trust me.. it will kick off james.. but seriously hope is does not. not unless you get something in return. and ime not trying lick here its just common sense |

how many as a % do you think other window cleaners actually read these forums, out of the dozens that I know only a couple read the forums. I spoke to a lad that was using a ro system the other day, he didn't know he could di only, never heard of a wagtail, never heard of gardiners poles. no harm in sharing a bit about detergents

Some good information on there. I expect most peoples attention will be drawn to the 'no residue' sentance. too be honest it's nice to see that in writing, as you can confidently quote that to customers if need be |

So for me it was a easy change over. |

Actually, on the.... You are not allowed to view links.
Register or Login website, Ecover have got a little advert for Truck-Wash for Fascias, Conservatories, Roofs, Gutters etc. down the left hand side. I think its the same company so they seem to have a little to do with our 'industry' anyway. |

yes I know jimmy, the ecover truck wash has been used for years, an ex member on here has used it for years mixed with GG3, it isn't anything new really, the only difference is the truck wash isn't readily available to be bought over the counter and has to be ordered, but the washing up liquid can be bought locally so it is easier to try.
I have looked at the ingredients of ecover washing up liquid and the ecover general detergent and there is hardly any difference between them, so I would imagine the truck wash will be pretty similar

i dont know if this is correct.. but if you test all your green window cleaning washing up liquid on a mirror you will see when it drys which one has left the most streaks and smears.. ive tried 5 here in germany now and ecover has left the least of all of them..... tried sonat a german eco washing up liquid its left streaks .... the ecover is the most invisible up till now.. does a heck of a job on windows in direct sunlight !

I have given this a week. I originally did a similar test between Fairy and W5. The W5 left a lot less than Fairy so I started to use it with good results. I did a test with Ecover and found it even better but it still leaves some residue. I think it is the best yet and will be using it from now on.
One minor point which is relevent though is this: I have had some trouble with my fingers starting to peel, perhaps due to exessive use of ordinary washing up liq, so with Ecover being very natural, I hope that it will be better for me. Too early to tell yet.

Its much better wagga than all the other washing up liquids regarding your hands .. but you might find your hands will crack slightly maybe .. (this might be due to the 2 drops of clear salad vinegar i put in my bottle though ).. but ive used it 2 weeks now and only have one small crack on my left hand which is a common thing when using dish wash soap ( dries your skin up ) . bearing in mind i do a hell of a lot of frame cleaning... if you cream your hands once a night you should be well ok.. i dont normally cream dont like to put synthetic creams and lotions on my hands / body because it gets drawn into your system . but when i see cracks appearing i have to other wise its a real pain working with a crack on your hand.. just dont like wearing rubber gloves, as do 80 % of all window cleaners
Maybe the use of pure water ( solution bottle and rinsing the washer out which has the pure water on it ) has role in the damage done ( if any ) on the hands also ??
but in general much much better than those household washing up liquids .. hope fully with 0 Petro -chemicals
