Window Cleaning News

Window Cleaning now and in the future will all ways need one thing… Window cleaning solution and chemicals to clean the glass.  Over the 20 years they type of chemical have change dramatically.  From water and vinegar to TRISODIUM PHOSPHATE (TSP), many different types of cleaning chemicals.  What is best?  That might just depend on who you talk to.  Twenty years ago it was TSP then it moved to water with ammonia and then to dish soap with ammonia.   The list goes on and on, many different store bought chemicals were uses and popular mainly because they are easy to get.  T0 the average route work window cleaner dish soap might be all they ever used till the late 80’s.  That is when the commercial chemicals started to take off.  The Pill by Unger soon became the industry stranded.  But it lacked the suds and bubbles of the dish soap.  Still it was very popular with commercial low and high rise cleaners. Titan Labotories introduced the Glass Gleam-3 used new “state-of-the art formulation, designed specifically for the professional window cleaner. It outperforms any other cleaner available. Tests with leading window cleaning companies and a survey of window cleaners who switched to GG-3, show conclusively that Glass Gleam-3 is the product window cleaners need and have been looking for.”

Yes, it was true GG3 became the new chemical but harden window washers we not ready to give up their Joy Dish soap.  The problem was more of a psychological one rather then a chemical formulation.  Many of the forums and chat rooms fought about it, and it came down to suds and bubbles again.  The idea that is a window have suds all over it then it must be cleaning the glass.

Titan Labs stuck with it and soon the GG-3 had a brother GG-4with suds.
