If it does you may have to trad the downstairs after. Allow for that in your pricing. Are you doing the internal as well ?

Is it wooden frames? Is there a silicon bead around the window frames?

Even if you are working on a main busy road right next to a bus stop you still won't get enough dirt from passing traffic on panes of glass before the water has dried.

The best way has got to be going back later in the day and seeing for yourself exactly what is wrong. If anything.
It might seem a pain but you only have to do it once to see exactly what needs doing. And that will save you time in the long run.

Some windows always spot even though there is no obvious reason why. I have certain customers that I still have to check over every time before I leave. most of the time I end up just drying off the downstairs windows to be on the safe side.

WFP is not a precise science and the more you do it the more you come to realise that.

I've got a couple of properties with aluminium painted frames and the results are always crap. I have also cleaned properties with wooden frames and moulded beading and they are crap too. WFP just doesn't work on every window. In my opinion it only just works most of the time anyway.
