Shops in big towns and cities always get cleaned in the dark the shop fronts are illuminated it’s in a lot of cases easier to see if you’ve done a good job,a lot of the time if you see the windows being cleaned at 8-9am they been there a good 2-3 hours.
I know someone that cleans shops from 10-30am  till 4 buckets in the way of shoppers etc lots of people about,can’t think of anything worse,most shops are a nightmare these days they used to be the holy grail of window cleaning these days I find them a pain.

Does anyone clean when it's dark, just saw a windy cleaning  shop fronts !  ::)roll ::)roll ::)roll

Not sure why there's rolling eyes on your post. Wouldn't be too professional to clean when the shops are open would it?
Can't seeing that going too well.

When I did a lot of commercial work I started in the dark for about half the year.

I have in the past done a midnight job on a 3 storey building on a one way road.

In the day it's just not possible because of the traffic and the foot fall. I did over price it because I didn't want the job and still got it

You can now clean windows in the dark.
Some times you have not got a choice, early morning or cleaning windows of a night.
This will allow you to clean windows at times it is quite also.
