Title: WFP drippy top frames
Post by: SimonBurton on January 09, 2013, 07:25:51 pm
New to wfp am getting a few drippy top frames luckily only had 3 so far


How do I go about not getting them.

Normally frames very clean as I trad cleaned very thoroughly, but have a conservatory that's shocking, need to redo it in the morning,


Am I using too much water or should I use more? Am running at 27 psi, should I go more or less?

Cheers...

Mate switch off water when finished cleaning window then try brushing down sill minus water this will help with dripping ...Consevatory have you tried G101 fantastic stuff

It they've been trad cleaned for a long time then you can get quite a bit of soap build up in the seals that can run out and spot
This alone can take two or three cleans to get rid of

 ;) Same ... inform custy of this from outset.... I dont charge double for first clean... however i  have them agree to minimum of x 3 cleans for this reason... then id still not happy part part company if cant comprimise...may not work for all but works well for me..

First clean for me is all about scrubbing them frames .. scrubbing some more and more again particular that top frame... then sorting the glass

Hope that helps

If you have drippy dirty water of the top of the frames turn your water flow up full and rinse the top more till the water flow in clean. Don`t try to save water on this type of job. Saving water is a looser`s game in window cleaning all you do is kill your reputation.Try bathing in a empty bath and see what a dirty drip you will be. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Thanks, suspected the answer might be soak the buggers!  When I work trad, I get through 20 plus scrims a day, maybe not the way most work, but cuties love the results.

Plan to be the same wfp....

Scrub more at the top if its leeching out washing up liquid

It should not take 2 or three times for it to come out if done correctly the first time. Although we use this "it may take 2/3 times" as a cop out clause

Keep with it all will come good :)

No it shouldn't take two to three goes if done correctly
The problem is when you're trying to get the soap out of seals it's usually when you've just switched to wfp and chances are you aren't doing it correctly
This was the case with a lot of mine when I switched
Still get the occasional first clean now that's like this

20 scrims a day! Wow that's a lot of scrims! One scrim used to last me a month! Sometimes longer!
