Working tax credit guys, child tax credit guys, giro guys, tax dodger guys and lazy guys will all give the rain a miss. Nowt wrong there, been and done. But it's a fact none the less.
When the wee kiddies are all up and your credits stop, like me, you will work in the rain. Bugger. ;D

Hello Alroy,

Assuming you are a potential customer.  Yes you can clean windows in the rain especially when the window cleaner you are using is working with pure water and cleaning your windows with the new reach and wash systems that are out there.

The problem for a lot of those window cleaners that use the new reach and wash pure water systems is convincing their customers that rain water is still pure water and does not in anyway affect the cleaning process at all as far as I am concerned.

If you would like some more clarification on this you can give me a call on either of the numbers at the bottom of my post, thanks.

Kind regards. :)

if using wfp )water fed poles( there is no reason why you or a window cleaner cannot work in even heavy rain, most window cleaners will make an excuse that customers dont like it. it makes no difference to the end result apart from a wet window cleaner.

clear plastic strimmer visor just remove the ear defenders, or leave em on if its cold.

12 quid off ebay and its genius.

also great for gutter washing from ground level
