Dazmond - thanks for your informative posts! It`s nice to read you posts, keep them coming.

Nice to read some "feedbacks" on how all this WFP system works.

Today I got in the "mail" a fully set 650l two man setup with hot water from purefreedom.

Really looking forward to start to use it!

Have learned a thing or two from you :)

question 1= Can everyone on this planet use a applicator and blade properly?
question 2= Can everyone on this planet use a wfp system properly?

Answer to both = NO!!!!!

I use wfp all day long day in day out. No complaints EVER
Clean my own home wfp come up lovely.
Clean my windows trad last night, come up lovely.
Last trad window cleaners work i inspected very poor.
My mates trad cleaning, excellent.
WFP user i saw yesterday, excellent
WFP user i saw last week, crap,spots all over.

CATCH MY DRIFT  ;) ;) ;) ;) :)

Lets just clean windows the best we can any which way we use!
The 'bad' cleaners will pack up and sell there systems on ebay.
happy cleaning ;D

It also how efficient you work

I saw a trad cleaner working a few doors down from sister house a few weeks ago, cleaning a semi detached house watched him clean the upstairs window (frame and glass) to perfection took him 10 minutes for this one window, my sister told me he charges £5.

Did a great job, but he’s not making any money he didn’t have a BOAB and you could see that was slowing him down. Keeping up to date with equipment is just as important as being able to use it.


This is getting embarrassing now but- I agree with this! :o

You may agree winproclean, but putting it into practice can be more difficult.

Just in the past few years wfp has change a lot, people who started out with wfp equipment several years ago and still using the same/type of equipment are already behind and may even not be aware of it.

Trad doesn’t even come into it anymore, yet new people coming into the window cleaning who start out trad today are already behind.


1. I was one of those people regarding wfp, I stuck with my original gear far too long!

2. Trad does indeed come in to it Ewan. There are still many trad cleaners/outfits making very good money & retaining good quality clients. Go from a traditional mop & squeegee to a wagtail flipper- it's like going from an old skoda to a merc!

Many new to this game might not realize that there are just as many things you can improve in a trad set up as there are for a wfp one! ;)

Thing is, the odd time you might get a drip spot with wfp...with trad youll get the odd smear where youve flicked the blade around or wiped with a dirty cloth etc

The difference is customers never (hardly) complain about trad because they never look as hard as they do for wfp.

You boys just can't stop arguing about trad v/s wfp....

Both have their place dependent on customer/windows/house - we still use a combination and it works for us and our customers ;D
