some customers like dry sills(i know as some have commented before now).if you use a squeegee to quickly take most of the water off then a quick go over with a cloth it looks great for the customer esp if their in and you ve been lighteningly quick wfpoling the windows with a high flow.

its this little attention to detail that some customers like IMO and worth the extra min or two.

Depends on the sill for me, if there is silicon between the joint, the brush is sufficient, if there is a gap and dirt runs out I will wipe with a cloth

He also spends an age rinsing off the glass, even with a high flow rate...again, his work, his rules but what a waste of time!!
Is you have washed the windows properly then you are rinsing as you are washing and rinsing once you have washed the windows is either a lack of confidence in your ability to clean windows with wfp or a mistaken belief that it is necessary to do so.

There are occasions when it will make sense to rinse (although I personally always rinse with the tips of the brush on the glass) but by and large it just isn't necessary...although of course many on here would argue differently  

Hi bit surprised this wasn't picked up on a bit more.
Ian is long established so I would like to get your opinions on this!
The mantra with WFP seems to be rinse, rinse again if it's windy then - extra rinsing etc...

The only way I can see it working well is if you fan the brush from side to side - cleaning and rinsing from top to bottom to carry the dirty water down. But hard on the shoulders.
Most windies I have seen brush vertical up - down.
Inevitably if you leave the brush on the glass you will carry dirty water back up the window that you have already washed down.
So I think if you work that way then in that case you need to rinse.
But I think I rinse too much but you only find out after - when it's too late!!!

For the past fee weeks I've been helping another window cleaner out on a day here and a day there and he is unbelievably fussy on his sills, washes them, pinches off the water flow and will wipe off the sills with his brush, or will use a cloth or will rinse over and over....
His work, his rules but why???!!!

It was really interesting to observe first hand another experienced window cleaners technique.
Watching how particular he was over his sills I then paid attention to my own for the sake of comparison.
Now I do wash my sills and frames automatically and on comparing like for like I initially wondered if there would be much of a difference...

And was there?


Nope, none at all that I could see, I do not fart around with a sill cloth nor go over the top with washing and scrubbing and flicking off any accumulated water and if there was - or is. A difference I'm blowed if I could see one.
