”Basically when the sun isn’t shining on your house.

”The sun causes the product to dry too quickly on your windows, causing streaks to appear.”

Someone wrote: “I didn’t know that, thank you very much for this.”

Another fan joined in the conversation, commenting: “THANK YOU. I was cleaning mine this morning, I only moved in a month ago and I forgot how you turn these in to clean them!”

Someone else shouted: “My council windows won’t open properly this way.”
