You're assuming the weather is bad everywhere in the UK as it is in Yorkshire.

Am I...read the title of the thread....says awful weather so not really an assumption

If you WFP in this weather you might as well have saved your pure and used tap water.

Wrong , I take it you don't clean windows full time, you do part carpet cleaning part windows?

Your cleaning mixing pure with rainwater.........................yes I mainly do carpet cleaning part time windows....what difference does that make to the fact that your mixing unpure with pure to clean windows

Tap water has a totally different TDS reading to rainwater . You do part time window cleaning so you can pick and choose when you do it unlike someone who has a full round.
Hmm custys hate it that much I feel sorry for you guys who go to all that effort to clean in dry weather and then it hammers it down before the owners get home . I bet they're sooo mad at you for cleaning in the rain - honestly I cleaned them when it wasn't raining 🙄🙄😂😂😂😂

I'm so rich I didn't need to work today, might not work tomorrow either as I don't have to.

Me too , think il sack all my custys off until spring. It might stop raining by then

[Jonny 87]

I felt so bad about today's weather I went and gave yesterday's customers a full refund too.

Customer service and all that.

They're all on £200+ plus per day but "clean" windows in the rain because they can't afford a day off

So it has a totally different TDS...would that be above 0....so it's still not pure...so your now not cleaning pure..and there was silly me thinking you all clean pure like you advertise

Is that a reply or just a load of crap from someone who posted on here what he done but is a a bit of a dreamer..

I love all the crybabies who don't train their customers and are so lacking in confidence that they can't clean in the rain "because their customers won't like it."

Pathetic.

[JandS]

Your not cleaning pure that your advertising....so much for pros....you educate your customers you clean pure then clean unpure

[JandS]

Plus your not cleaning in the rain your just convincing yourself you are....sound like some of the bullies round here that clean windows in rain when customers do not want it....

[AuRavelling79]

Rubbish J and S. I'll tell you why.

Rain water is typically 20/25 ppm. (Unless it is salt laden near the sea) Perfectly acceptable when it lands on a window in a shower for the cleaned windows to remain clean. Also my customers are paying me to remove (usually) one or two months worth of dirt when I call. Also I offer a guarantee that if the customer is not happy within 24 hours I will call back and fix the problem.

They have those safeguards because I explain it to them and I have been cleaning their windows wfp for over ten years and trad. ten years before that.

You saying there is bullying is ridiculous. Now THAT is a reason for any customer to say "on yer bike".

 Strange but when I clean my windows in decent weather or even light rain they come up perfect, I cleaned them once in the wind and rain using the usual technique and guess what, they were a mess. If I replicated these poor results onto my customers  I would be of the view that my customers were receiving a bad service and poor value for money, hence the reason I choose not to clean in these conditions. My business, my choice.

rainwater is basically pure , apart from the small amount of contamination it picks up on its way down , it is after all distilled water .

The tds of rainwater , if collected without running off a dirty roof , is generally lower than some of the people on here clean with!

And that's likely the problem.

Ahh now I get it. Right I'm off to the shops tomorrow to buy some goretex gear so I can work in all weathers .......Ooops wait a minute, I can't, I'm skint because a never worked today in the wind and rain
As my technique seems to be the reason for the poor results, perhaps you could give me some pointers as to the correct technique?  Is it possible to  just let the rain lash against the windows and pretend you have cleaned them then collect payment as normal?

Feck me you're an ugly bugger you are.



Do they let you out in daylight - that's what you call a face for radio that is.

You could try but I wouldn't recommend it.
