The weather down here in Brighton hasn't been exactly wonderfull.
Like many places we're now into almost the 3rd month of predominantly endless grey gloom. In between there has been a few odd days of sunshine but there again, those have been cold. In the main it has been endless rain/drizzle and high winds with drizzle/rain. Try telling the customer I have bills to pay when within a few hours of cleaning their windows they are covered in salt again. Quite a few have said wait untill the weather improves.
Also, I do a lot of shops/shop signs/etc on a Thurs evening, during Friday and Sat morning. Often the shops I've done on the Thurs evening look like they havn't been done by the Friday morning. Cleaning salt off windows with an applicator and squeegee is a nightmare. The windows look great for about 10 minutes and then white salt lines appear as if by magic.
I've never known a winter like it here.
Yep, same here, one of my routes is right next to the beach, big detached houses, usually takes the two of us 4 hours, cleaned it last week, took us 7 hours and still they weren't perfect, they are a nightmare style of window, main part of the window is about 2 feet square but the top part of the window is three separate 8" square sections, all with rubber seals around them, the salt gets into the corners of the rubber seals, absolute nightmare
. There is a happy ending tho......I have just sold this work
