Title: Using WFP on thin leaded windows?
Post by: PurefectWindowCleaning on June 10, 2012, 10:20:09 am: Im sure everyone has been cleaning windows with the pole and you notice water running down the inside of the glass, mainly on thin leaded windows. Well, this has been happening to me on a few occasions. Ive tried turning the flow down to low but still have the problem.
How do you experts do it? Im thinking maybe wash the frames as normal, then cut the flow and give the glass a brush, then rinse lightly.

Cheers,
James.

Usually no problems with water ingress = you don't want a constant stream of water in this situation.
