Ha me neither just finished doing first cleans and ive been spending ages.

2nd cleans tomorrow im going to try agitate the lot in one go then rinse frames. Then rinse glass and swipe sill. Play it by ear. Need to get quicker.

Is rinsing absolutely necessary. I only say that because I was cleaning a house next to another cleaner doing next door the other day and he wasn't rinsing any of the windows?  I've tried it on my windows. It's was fine on the normal sized windows that sheeted. But there were quite a few marks in the patio doors. Views?

You'll get loads on here say not necessary but I've tried  it several times on my own windows and can't get 100% with it.
It doesn't take that long to rinse and aren't we supposed to with WFP?
Judging by the amount of calls I get along the lines of "the last window cleaner used to use this brush with water thing but the windows were all streaky and marked afterwards!! Can you do them the normal way?"
There are loads of really c**p WFP cleaners around get us a bad name and make it harder to push the system.

my thoughts exactly. tbh my rinsing is fairly fast with the fan jets . couple back and forths across top then down up down. then swipe the cill back and forth.

Fast as you can get away with
Couple of times across the top frame.
One agitation up and down across the glass doing frame at same time.
One agitation side to side starting at the top and working down, this serves as a rinse also.
Couple of times across the sill.

Are you being serious that you use this technique???
I really need to cut the time I spend per window big time as I still haven't fully shook off that OCD period you go through starting out and if this works to a good standard I'm going to have to try similar.

Yes this is what I do barring very large windows where I do 2 agitations and rinse off the glass just because I'm not sure there's as much water for rinsing like you get on smaller windows.
I also don't use a controller so I couldn't tell you if it works on a lower flow.
I haven't had a complaint yet on standard cleans but I'm part time so I clean a lot less windows than most.
I've only been wfp about 2 1/2 years but once I'd got to the 2 year mark I seemed to get faster which I put down to confidence in my technique and a decent pole.

I love those type of WFPers.
If you can get the customer to let you clean, just the once, even on the premise of being free.
And you convert them, they'll be a customer for life.
Even if a canvasser comes in cheaper, they'll keep you 'cause you "know what you're doing".
They'll know this because you told them at the outset.
