time spent on window
« on: March 14, 2006, 08:03:21 pm »
is there anyway to get access to a video of someone cleaning a window with a wfp i saw one recently for a powerbrush (i think) but i think thats a different type of brush.
the problem is we have listened to lots of people with regerd to how to clean with wfp, but i know i can blade a window faster thatn i am with wfp at the moment, now i think this may be because i am brushing the window too much, but i dont know. how do you know when you have brushed enough and, for that matter, rinsed enough.
one of the guys on here said that he cleans all the top frames all the way round the house , then goes back and cleans all the top windows, then goes back and cleans all the bottoms, we have tried this and it takes ages, slower than blading them to be honest, so we must be
there are more windows than window cleaners so lets help each other

I think the post regarding doing the frames first then coming back and doing the glass was relating to first cleans.

Do you remember when you first used a squeegee? When I first started it took me a while to recognise when the glass was clean up until then I was always tempted to go around checking.

The challenge with wfp is to know when you have done enough. Generally speaking I scrub the window once and then let the water rinse all the way down the glass. This is usually enough.

Check out www.window-tools.com. they used to have a clip of a window being wfp'd

The main thing to remember is that the dirt comes off easily, except of course the ubiquitous impacted soilage.

Take Care

Bill,

I will try and get one of us on a vid clip so you can see how it's done on a standard regularly cleaned window.
