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.
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
