Title: wfp window cleaners
Post by: poleman on January 24, 2011, 11:27:50 pm
I ask this question about 5 years ago and the answer was low! I wonder if different now! (I have been WFP 10 years)

in your view what % of window cleaners use WFP

I would say 50 / 50 but could be wrong

In my area there are a lot more on ladders than have WFP.  Really hard to guess at the percentages though.  More WFP than there were though.

Why wasn't it designed to be used on houses? Are you saying it shouldn't be used on houses, if you are, that is ridiculous.

Yes you are right sb cleaning!

i know what you are saying that a window is a window but on commercial it is different glass that is used to that of domestic houses, that`s why there was so many issues using wfp on domestics because it was not designed for it,  thats why you don`t get the same issues with commercial glass!
