Shall we try a different subject

[rosskesava]

Seems you get bored with whatever topic.

Have you tried a different forum?

[Sir Squeaky]

Big question is why did he dig up a month-old thread to say that?

[rosskesava]

Still, this topic was officially the longest thread ever on CUI.

It must have been interesting to some for it to end up as such.

2 200 odd read it?

Must be a seriously boring topic. Anyway, why didn't Bear start a different subject as a new post. Strange.

Squeaky Clean, I agree, why did he dig up a month old thread? Maybe he'll enlighten us. In a different topic of course. It will begin with words similar to 'change the topic'. Maybe.

Cheers

[Simon Carter]

If this is the longest thread ever, I bet I'm the last one to comment on it.
That should keep it going a while longer. If not, I win.

[JM123]

no chance simon - I'll be her till the end (actually its more likely that one of the mods will lock the thread - Ian does it all the time, its his way of expressing his power and authority  )



(oh and he hardly ever gives warning he's going to do it either!)

[Simon Carter]

Better add something quick them !!

[Peter Fogwill]

The video did show how long it takes to clean a regularly cleaned window.  Not a very professional video granted, but it was not supposed to be.

Hi
Peter I did say having watched the vid that it did not look very professional and to be honest I thought it was a bit of a blag to clean  windows that quick  however it did get me wondering
so I put it to the test and as my round was upto date

Was I spending to long on easch window?
YES I WAS   

so I take my hat off to you sir!  (sorry no hats off sybol)

 I still can't bring myself to do it quite as quick as that vid but I am saving time so that eqates to
money  thanks again

regards Grant

Hi Grant, glad to be of assistance.  If it wasn't for people doubting the speed of the cleaning on the video then the thread wouldn't have made it past a couple of pages, never mind 13.

[CC Window Cleaning]

13 pages.... I'll admit to watching the vids then reading the 1st and last pages!!

Never mind the quality of the clean etc etc

I didn't see any Warning Sign on the pavement for that hose! 

Personally, I clean with both trad-ladders and trolley-Wfp.  I don't see how a van or trailer mounted system could cope with residential work.  I'm sure van and trailer people get the ladders off on more occasions that they admit to on here 

PS: I know this thread should really be put to bed... so ignore this... no need to reply 

[AuRavelling79]

Hi CC, I've dropped my trolley to a car mount and 100m microbore. And for fiddly jobs a backpack. I no longer carry ladders at all.

[geefree]

i am just beginning with wfp and i was also told to clean the frames, then the windows upstairs... front .. then back... then back to the downstairs at the front as the dripping will have stopped....

so on the video no frames were done, so dirt on the frames will drip onto the now clean windows?

and water will also drip on to the downstairs windows after he has left...?

correct me but its only what i see from the experienced guys.

gary.

The water will only drip down to the windows underneath, if you use too much water to begin with.

[Jeff Brimble]

Similary with ice on pavements, etc  I dont use much water and dont find it much of a problem as the building itself soaks up overspill.

[Sir Squeaky]

What? Dig up 6 month old threads?

[Wayne Thomas]

How times change.

When I first watched Peter Fogwill's video last year I thought,  'no way can you clean a window properly that quickly' myself, despite some agreeing it can be achieved.
Now over a year on from the start of this thread I realise you possibly can clean windows this quickly if you know what you're doing on regular, maintenance cleans providing you don't have to contend with salt deposits, traffic pollution, birds muck that has been baked on since the previous clean, grease, etc. Hot water overcomes many of them problems so it's even easier.
I wouldn't like this topic to re-start as a wfp versus trad debate because it has pretty much exhausted itself and most of the points were raised along with a few temperments
Would be interesting to know if some of the trad w/c debaters at the start of this topic converted to using wfp like Squeeky does, although luckily he hasn't lost his sense of humour and still continues to bad mouth wfp or rather his customers attitude to wfp

I think that is my problem, but each time I am using less, finding out what works and what doesnt is a very big learning curve

Peter

Rubbish!! If there's no water dripping down then your clearly not using enough water to do a proper job!!!
