Problem is with strong winds that the windows can get filthy very quickly as the rain is blown onto glass. Many trad cleaners and wfp'ers haven't been working today.

Better tomorrow we hope.

We don't clean in strong winds like today. Right on the coast with salt laden air which travels 2.5 miles inland. Spots and sticks to the glass. Besides the clenliness part the poles are unsafe.

I worked all day today, and as usual my customers know that if they are not happy with the results they can call me and I will return to clean any windows they are not happy with. Guess what, as usual I did not recieve a single call.  ;)

I did an experiment this week to see how quick I could clean my own windows after 8 weeks without a clean.

Did a quick slap dash over windows Monday, checked them and they were fine not a spot or drip.
After the winds we have had today the back windows are a real mess, full of white spots, fronts OK. The wind was hitting the house at the back and obviously was carrying a lot of dirt with it.

Never had a complaint after 9 months wfp, but now thinking all the work I did on Wednesday may well look like my back windows, lets see if the phone rings tomorrow.
