Hi all Just wondered if there are many wfp lers that clean windows on a sea front?
A question really, do you find you have trouble with windows spotting because of the salt and sand in the air? Is it advisable to clean more regular like 2 weekly to avoid this? I have a job wich is right on the sea front i use a high flow for rinsing is there any thing else i should take in to account?
Thank you in Advance

Hi Jay, I clean some apartments on seafront at Southend. Certain times of the year require a bit more scrubbing with brush and good rinse, just tell customers if they get too mucky before my next visit to give us a call and i'll get to them as soon as.

Cheers mate. I have 57 panes to clean on a pier. I never have trouble with spotting. I clean some apartments that are on the coast but not right on top the beach like the pier. They get filthy, 4 weekly i clean them ,, like a first clean every time.

This is one I do on Southend sea front, clean as usual, no problems. It does get dirty quick, should be more than once a month.

We cleaned an hospital in blackpool a couple of months ago over 2 days,
We did the outside of it on the first day and the inside on the 2nd,
By the time we were cleaning the insides on day 2 the outsides were dirty again :-/

I was working here this morning. The one on the left with a couple of gables. There are a few others around and about for the next couple of days.
Most are holiday lets, like the one in the pic, but also some private. Holiday lets are every 2 weeks year round, private are monthly, plus 24hr notice, if the weather has been bad and they are having a party/ visitor etc.....
On stormy days by the end of the job they look just as bad as after, as before.
I sold an old brodex pole to the bloke in this cafe, because it really needs it daily, and he cant afford to pay for it to be done right.

I often clean sea front homes.
Spotting never seems to be a problem but salt etc running down from a well washed and rinsed top frame can.
Some windows require a final glass only rinse to get good results.
