How would you clean Georgian windows using a traditional pole James?
The panels are too small to use a 6" mop and squeegee. and using an unger clamp I am sure you would leave smears. plus how long do you think it would take to pole the first and second floor windows?
The smallest of the windows has 36 little panes.
I personally think the quickest way of doing it would be for me to WFP the outsides and let my other half microfibre the insides.

mb

leave it for the next newbie or give it to a trad die hard, dont forget your in business to make money dont be embarassed by that fact, if the punter wont pay extra, why should you risk trad and earn less when you can replace her?

yes its not the peerfect solution bit we pick and choose our jobs all the time so treat this one accordingly

Well Said Jeff,

i was looking for the right words earlier but it started sounding like a rant.

whether trad or WFP  making money is the name of the game, and one of the other reasons to running my
own biz was to make decisions on what work i do and how many hours i work.

not slave away for someone else

i did some high small windows with a long trad pole /damp scrim wrapped over a small channel swivel squeegee . admit it hurt  my arms as it was many windows and took me a couple of hours,but very good results
