Just wondered if anyone got good tips for working faster. For example i start at furthest point and spend half the time on frosted glass,higher flow rate. What else works for you. I was wondering if high spec hose wheel does mines not very good.
Thanks!

Speed comes with experience. If you try to rush then you make mistakes.

Its simple, routine, and dont try to be quick! It just comes.
Every job park in the same place start at the furthest point and just crack on.
We find a jobs gets quicker and quicker but then after say 3 or 4 cleans we have reached our optimal/fastest speed as you know all the ins and outs of the job.
We dont try to be quick it just sort of clicks.
The repetitive nature of what we do means the way in which a window is cleaned cant really be sped up just how you go about each job, and of course if you get caught by Ann in Greenvale you are in bigggggggg trouble! She can talk for ENGLAND! LOL

never take your brush off when doing patio doors as I'm doing the frames as the brush comes down halfway I pivot it in a Jedi fashion to an upside down position, I do this also on the midsection so it turns sideways as it comes between the door handles and then pivots fully as it drops below them.
going now am I..

I dont see the point of starting furthest away i find it more of a pain to manage hose . I start at closest to truck first and work to furthest point then it so much easier when it comes to winding hose in .
Otherwise you are having to drag alot more hose around with you back to your truck or van and it becomes tangled .
Totalshinemk why on earth would you be taking your brush of to do patio doors ??? ??? ??? . Mike

I mean that it once I start on the frame I never take it off to re position I go round the frame in a set pattern using a pivot action as I take it to the bottom half using my brush upside down, I have a sill brush on I then use top of bristles to sweep the sill off
