Reasonable method of cleaning, although Id say your corner-work will leave an unacceptable state of affairs. Interesting you didn't do the narrow side panels and we haven't seen you do anything above 6'. Ive always thought that all you do is bodge up something that is already on the market as if its something new. Ive never seen you bring anything to the market that is unique or rather unique and worth pursuing.

That's about et.
Can assure you most of the windows were 6 feet or more.
Could you squeegee like that on smaller windows using a large squeegee?
If so put a video up .
No that is also true,  never brought anything to the market.
But have had some manufacture see some of the videos that we put up and emulated our ideas.
And one is now on the market.
Can call it bodge, we call it modification to improve the tool so the make it work easier.

Using the same pole swivel and technique .
You can use the water fed brush any way you want eliminates the up down actions.
At the end see how you can use it to scrub the gutter boards.

Yes also the lower glass on the windows/doors you can't get at.

The vids arent for me. Done trad for 14yrsand I never had a problem and now on wfp.
A silly non point tho, the slow sluggishness of the aussi accent and unprepared script just makes it a hard watch for me. Watched a couple now n well, its a silly point but hey ho
Well the slow talking may have something to do with a industrial accident had in my younger years.
Which left me unable to speak for about 1 year.
But regained it know it is a bit drawn out and slow ,sorry you think I sound silly.

H man, if you read my statement correctlyI dont think you will find that I said you were silly or sounded silly. You will find I mentioned that my point was silly, as in it had nothing to do with the topic of window cleaning......
In addition, more to do with how unscripted it all sounds etc.
On the plus side, glad you got your voice back and has served you well
Just realized that you must of been talking about someone else.
As we edit our videos to keep it short and to the point of what video is about.
Also where we can, write what we said for the people that have trouble understanding me.
You may be thinking of this one??

Depending on the style as not all frames are operners and others can be sliding patio doors so you can't get at the inside of the juliet glass  or the lower part of the outside of the glass behind them as are normaly a very narrow gap. The ones in question have a metal frame with a very narrow gap at the bottom and sides and also patio sliding style doors that the door pushes out and along so the gap is even narrowerto try to do from the inside. This type you would have to somehow find a tool small enough to fit in the gap of the bottom frame. Hence why I mentioned in another post I will try a wagtail jetstream to clean from the ground as my smallest stock wfp brush doesn't  fit in the gap of the frame.

This vid shows how it can be done in principal (subjet to the design of the frame) using wfp method but doesn't show how to clean the back of the juliet glass that you would have to stand right underneath it and  turn the brush around to clean the inside of the glass. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKNcW230au0

At least the architect on that one though to put in french doors so could also be done from the inside too unlike a lot of numpty architects that don't even think about how to clean them afterwards.

So it is to clean the glass on the doors. But he didn't clean the back of the glass fence whatever you call it over your way LOL?
As said and know that the owner not always there but to at least do a one off from the inside. (trad)
It would make it easier to do after that??
