This clip is about 5mb in size, if you have broadband I could email it to you, I am trying to find the easiest way of posting it on my website so that it can be viewed by all (I do not have the technical know-how yet!).

Here is a link to tell you how to put the video clip on your webpage

Well that's how i do it, when the customer is watching too.
When they're not I spend a bit less time and water ;)

Reassuring to know i'm doing it right.  Thanks Mr G

What's wrong with rinsing twice; once with the brush on the glass, once with the brush off?

Time and water! ::)

Good point, I'm being less 'fanyish' now, and it's a lot quicker.  It only taken me seven months to do this. 

I'm a Geordie! ;)

So 20 seconds, and plenty of water, dont bother with the frames?

I'm on day 3, taking longer, but not using as much water.

Thanks

great alex,
thanks
the most surpising thing for me was that you rinse down the glass not side ot side as we do
there are more windows than window cleaners so lets help each other

You have to remember that the water is sheeting down so you dont really need to go side to side but both ways work when rinsing.

The tallest building i clean is 78feet so you couldnt rinse down you would have to do it side to side with the brush on the glass

I always rinse in sections down as you get the best curtain effect which helps with rinsing off, let the water do the work for you.

 You can still do this 78ft up you just tilt your brush head onto one side and use the window to support it as you rinse up and down.

I tried rinsing like that yesterday and it was alot easier than trying to lift the pole off the glass

i allways rinse with from side to side working down the glass

done it that way for 2 years now

we learn something new everyday, though i havent had any complaints yet, so side to side must work ok aswell

I do both ways really depending on how i feel but never take the brush of the glass i just tilt the brush.
The only time i take the brush off the glass is when i use my minipole downstairs.

If the window sheets well i just go across the top slowly, i have found thats all it needs
