Believe it or not we also clean windows on a regular basis. Quite a few of them everyday. Sorry to sound sarcastic but I am not stupid. some of them are cleaned with wfp so I do have a bit of experience. We do none where we jump out of a van and clean just the fronts though like Body and Doyle.
Just by cleaning windows regularly does not mean they will be all but clean next time. Maybe around where I live is odd then? Windows around here get dirty after a while.
The video then was a bit misleading. So not in every case can windows come up clean in that time?
As most domestic windows are cleaned every 4 weeks, generally, and if there was no wind, no rain and very low levels of pollution and the property is miles and miles from any roads or sources of airbourne dust and dirt and was in a place where the natural geographic features produce zero air turbulence, then maybe yes, the windows would stay clean but for all the year?
If the windows stay that clean then why do they need their windows cleaned regularly?
As for 'no one said not in every case', the video implies the opposite.
I didn't realise the video was to show how windows that were already clean could be again cleaned spotless with pure water.
I though and assumed the video was showing just how quickly windows, as a general term, could be cleaned.
Maybe your video needs subtittles to explain things.
Also, what is the actuall point the video is making. It can only be either, that windows that need cleaning can be cleaned this quick, or that windows that are already clean can be re cleaned this quick?
Is cannot be both or neither? Unless the video is for selling wfp products without being, how shall I put it, 'exact'. If it is a selling aid, then be honest about it. I think most understand how sales get made and how when selling, what is what gets put in the best possible light but when making the point to those who have already bought and have the t shirt and badge?
I do use wfp everyday.
Hi Mike
I am not having a go. I am trying to diplomatically point out simple truths. For example and forget sea salt and all that, we do the windows of a large place 8 miles from the coast. It is on a busy major road next to a horrifically busy roundabout. Which is why the owners have them done weekly. They get covered in grime from traffic pollution. We have to go over the windows with a mop and squeegie first as wfp does not remove the grime.
Fact. Not fiction. No exageration needed.
I'll give you the address and when we'll be there and come and see for yourself. You or anyone else can do the place with wfp in anyway you want. I'll stand and watch. Every 2 to 3 months we have to jet spray the place. My point is that in perfect circumstances then, yes, window cleaning with wfp may be that quick but generally for most w/c's with a varied round, that video is misleading.
We do also do the windows of a large pub with wfp. 34 of them and they come up ok with wfp in much less time than with trad methods. They don't come up brilliant but they are of an acceptable standard but...
How many on this forum clean just the front of a house where you can jump out a van, with no obsticles or worries, and clean windows that are already almost clean? There is more to it than that. What I am saying is that wfp is very worthwhile tool for window cleaning but don't exagerate and then treat that example as the normal. In other words, be real and honest.
I clean a shop where I can do the whole lot in under 45 seconds trad style. Does that mean every shop is that quick? Maybe I need to video it to promote trad methods to show every one how quick trad methods are?
Sorry, but that is how wfp sometimes gets portrayed and often on this forum, wfp is everything to all men window cleaning. Lets just be real and then discuss this, that and the other about wfp. That is when people learn and not by perfect examples in perfect circumstance with salesman type spin.
When I get the time, I'm going to get a garden hose, spray it all over my windows, video it and post it to show just how quick windows can be cleaned with a garden hose. No further proof needed as the video is all the proof that is required to make it true.
Cheers
