Depends if they are in. Wash and rinse if they are, just a quick wash if they are out.

Matt do you have an email addy, I have something for you ;D or send me a email if you dont wanna show yours.

I waxed my pole, ooer missus!!, like you were saying last night, tell you what that made a difference, I dont even think the issue is grit, just flaking tape at the ends of the pole sections.

Well done for that.

My email is

i wash them as normal its taking the p**s to do any other to be frank with you.

people watch you more than you might think too...

the other day i was cleaning windows and singing to myself where i thought no one was around, when i looked over my shoulder there was the neighbour watching me and probably considering hiring my services (and probably admiring my vocal skills  ;D).

my point is, emagine if a missed or just flashed over a frosted window has he was watching me!

all the best, george.

In all honesty, I clean all the windows.

As one other guy has already said, you never know who could be watching.

Anyway I think you should clean all windows, after all, the customer is paying for a professional job.

Very, unprofessional really.

Kind regards.

dirty frosted glass shows up even more than clear in the right light. I always rinse the windows the same as clear, may forget to rinse the odd door with small frosted panes.

I'm paid to clean them so I clean them,   perhaps if I was a cowboy or pikey I wouls miss them out but I'm not so they get the same care and attention as all the other windows.
