for those that dont or cant then fair play to ya if you can make a living window cleaning all year round without using traditional tools.

i for one couldnt envisage just using WFP.i find trad quite enjoyable at times(mainly ground floor windows)esp if the space is tight and/or the windows are wooden.also in winter i tend to trad more due to the water freezing on the ground.

it breaks the day up and with a bottle on a belt i can easily swap from wfp to trad very quickly.i save water too.

some jobs are just as quick if not quicker using the trad tools plus some windows just dont come up good no matter what you do with the pole!

i like to be adaptable.id say 80% of my work is WFP.nice to keep the trad skills going though as well!

nice unabusive post.

i probably do still have the odd job i could do quicker trad if i
pushed myself but putting on my boab fills me with dread,im
afraid wfp has made me like that.

god im happy!

nice try garry but no, if you can't trad you are gay worse than useless, sorry but that is the way it is

i see a bloke on a ladder using only  a wet cloth maybe its a scrim its in a ball no bigger than his hand. hes about the same speed as a squeegee man has a f*g as he works and never smiles

For some windows it's quicker and easier not to use a squeegie. Smaller outside windows, some internal windows where you don't want water running off onto the floor, mirrors, etc, etc. I just wet the glass a bit with a mop, use a scrim and then a microfibre.

I'm also often puzzled as to why so many w/c's use a squeegie on small windows as it doesn't actually achieve anything speed wise.

Yup. Nice posting and I agree 100% and I'd also say roughly 70% or 80% of my work is now wfp.

 i might give that a go Ross. i think that all this guy had was the ball of black cloth/scrim that he wiped the glass with, no other rag ,no pouch or belt neither  . i guess he turned it over as he used it. he was only doing the ups while a mate did the downs with a squeegee. im thinking that you can get away with a few smears on the ups  but not on the downs

We have a chain of forecourts to clean.

Ladders not allowed, wfp not practical.

What do we use?, squeegies on poles, now that does take some skill!

Me too stockclean i use wagtail on a pole to reach over the newspaper stands etc I do 14 forecourts
