As others have said I find it best to scrub again with water turned off (after I have first cleaned window). Seem to come off easier this way and also saves water.

Great thread this.

I’m going to try some of the techniques mentioned.

Snail trails are an absolute ballache wfp, that’s  for sure.

Leave them, when the window drys you can’t see them again  often I find you can’t even see them until you get the window wet.

If they’re visible before cleaning the window, I just scrub till there gone. No particualr technique.

I'm always paranoid that the customer can see them from the inside!

A little addition into the emotional bank account that good franchisors and employers donate.

I suspect I may have posted about this before as it's core to everything we do.

We don't really care a great deal about our end-customers directly. Our entire focus, everything we ever do, every decision we make  is based on keeping our franchisees happy. They look after the end-customers, we look after them.

I've bored on about this before but above my desk is a sign I paid to have engraved: "Always do what is in the best interests of the franchisees"

I'd dread taking our business to Dragon's Den. I'd have trouble telling them turnover, return on capital employed, etc. I'd just keep replying "You misunderstand, we just keep the franchisees happy. I don't care about the financials. We do OK and everyone's content."

Sorry for the quasi-religious rant.
