I think many on here don’t check them after cleaning, there’s no way they are coming up clean with the usual splash and dash round my way.
This is what I’m saying last week I thought they looked fine I went round and checked they were awful,embarrassingly so if I’m honest.

most windows are dry when ive cleaned a property,esp if its a large house and it takes me a while to clean them......or if  its hydrophilic glass im cleaning (some are dry within a few mins)so i give them a quick check...absolutely fine.....

I don’t spend much time checking windows, I leave that to the customers and if if they weren’t up to standard I’m sure they would let me know.

Why would you check them?

For a start you are wasting time on every job going round checking them. Then if you spot any problems you are going to re clean them which takes more time.  And what's to say if they didn't turn out right the first time they are going to be better after you've re done them?.  Not only that but you are going to start being paranoid on every job.

I just clean them, post a slip and bugger off as quick as possible. If people start complaining I know I'm doing something wrong. But I can't remember the last time I had a complaint... Its been a few months.

Wfp is never going to be 100% perfect everytime, there's lots of factors why a clean could turn out less than perfect but having ocd about it to that level wont help.

I’ve not noticed any difference in the level of dirt on the windows.

I don’t really think about it, unless it’s a first clean and inevitably dirty.

I agree with Adam, I never check windows, I’ve always been long gone by the time they’re dry. Unless it’s a large commercial job in the summer.

I think the main issue here is .... you still can’t clean windows properly. You used to blame cold water for not cleaning your windows properly, so you got your water so hot that it cracks glass ... and they are still dirty  ;D

I’m running about 2 weeks behind atm, due to having to wait until I got the new van, and I have noticed the windows are slightly dirtier than usual, but that’s down to the amount of wind and rain we have had, rather than me being late.  I’m not spending any more time than usual unless they are really dirty.

I never usually check them I had a customer say to me can you look at these round the back before you go tell me if it’s inside,when I looked it was outside.
Only these last few months they’ve been way dirtier than normal in the south,some are like a first clean.
