I do a bungalow trad every month, was in a right mess yesterday, suds drying on windows real quick. Dust and cobwebs everywhere.
Its taken that little bit longer with WFP, but i bet its been killing you trad guys.
(im not slating which is better, just stating you must of had it hard last few weeks!)

We get masses of pollen here at this time of year. A few hours after a clean on a conny roof, you can't see it's been cleaned. On bigger windows like shop fronts, when you have fanned the glass, there is a yellowish sludge on the sill when you've finished!! Lasts about 6 to 8 weeks here.
If we are early on our 6 weeklies, nobody complains when it's this bad.

Cant say I've noticed, if anything it's easier, without rain there is just a bit of dust on the glass. As for soap suds drying on the window, as NJ said, too much soap by the sounds of things

I've not had any problems with the glass drying too quickly. I use cold water in warm/hot weather.
Did 5 first cleans this week. They all came up lovely!

I clean windows traditionally, in the summer I just make sure I'm using plenty of water. No major problems with it really.
The only time I envy WFP is the winter, hands in freezing water can be soul destroying.

Yes, because they know how to.
