Heavy rain
« on: October 03, 2010, 10:22:45 pm »
alot of window cleaners state that they dont work in heavy rain, me included! so i was just wondering why dont you (w.c'ers who work in light/medium) work in heavy rain?

I dont work in heavy rain simply because i cant see what im doing when its too heavy! but i was wondering if anyone thinks the cleaning end results suffer due to heavy rain? wfp & traditional methods!

I always tell my custys that wfp works fine in the rain. It's me that doesn't.  :)

If you work in heavy rain you will get wet.

I dont live in the UK, but where I live - you could not be a window cleaner if you would not clean in the rain, and also heavy rain.

You get used to it :) And also people understand it here.
We need to work any how, all up to minus 10 degrees in the winter. If its more minus than that - we sleep in :)

Ola could you elaborate about your working conditions and perhaps any hints and tips you may have to help us...also where in the EU are you from?

Many thanks
Dave.

i work in most rainy conditions these days

except on properties on busy roads where the wind whips
the dirt around i have found results poorwhen it has been lashing
down and the winds reasonably strong.

oh yeah when its allied to thunder and lightening i use
ally poles and would prefer to live a little longer ;D ;D
