Many of our customers in South East England face these same challenges, and we’re here to help you overcome them with the right tools and a caring, customer-focused approach.


What’s in our toolkit to help you?


  • Squeegees: For a streak-free, professional finish every time.

  • Microfibre Cloths: For those final touches that make all the difference.


We choose each tool with your needs in mind—whether you’re worried about hard water stains, coastal salt, or just want to let more light into your home.


What Is Scrim Cloth Used For?


Have you ever wiped your windows, only to find annoying streaks or lint left behind? That’s where scrim cloth comes in—a traditional tool that solves a modern problem.


How does scrim cloth help you?


  1. Absorbs Water Fast: No more drips or water marks.
  2. Leaves No Lint: Your glass stays crystal clear.
  3. Perfect for Detailing: Gets into corners and edges where dirt hides.
  4. Long-Lasting & Eco-Friendly: One cloth can last for years, saving you money and reducing waste.


Customer Story: “I used to spend ages trying to polish out streaks. Since Astound Cleaning Group started using scrim cloths, my windows have never looked better!” – Local Homeowner, Kent


If you’re frustrated by streaks or smears, scrim cloth is the professional’s answer—and we use it on every job to make sure you’re delighted with the results.
