Does this scorching weather effect the results when WFP?
Reason I ask is that a house that my employee cleaned earlier spotted quite bad, and I had to go over it. But I coudnt see the results as was in a major rush and had to clear off straight away before they fully dried.
We are pumping out 000 so its not the resin.
So, does the direct sun at this temp have any effect what so ever on the results?
-
I DON'T THINK SO pure water is pure water, there is nothing to spot, shouldn't matter how fast it dries
sounds more like technique or lack off?
-
Yes, the Sun has a big affect. Hot glass will just drink your water- if you know what I mean- so you need to use more.
You could give the glass a spray first. This will cool the window and also ensure you're not scrubbing too dry, if that makes sense.
Think of using a dried out applicator before blading, when trad.
It won't work, so use some water.

cool the glass first 8)

You need to rinse the dirt off the glass. When it is hot the water will dry before running off. Rinse more.
-
I agree it definitely makes a difference, windows in direct sunlight will need a bit more rinsing to ensure you get all the dirt off the glass before the water dries.
I've used a lot more water today than I would normally use to make sure they come out top notch.
-
Ill expect a few complaints after the last couple days then ;D
Cheers team ;)

In theory, window cleaning is dead easy but in practice, there's snakes in them windows ;D.
Sometimes you have to think about windows :o. The same window could be cleaned a lot easier on a damp day than on a scorcher.
Heat a pan up and pour water on it and see what happens. You don't need to, really; but you know what I mean.

The water dries on the glass quicker scrub and rinse longer and you
wont have a problem as long as your water tds is o.k.
-
Rinse whats that?do people really rinse?
I just scrub from top to bottom.never rinse.
-
Yes it does,
It dries on quicker.
Pain in the....or should I say pane in the ass.

Seems like your not using enough water anyway.
Use more work faster

yes wouldn't do it on first cleans.
I start at bottom of the glass rubbing up and down in zigzags and then top to bottom sideways .

i have been cleaning like this for a couple of weeks, no complaints yet and getting thru the work a lot quicker, i have turned the water up a bit this gives a good rinse while cleaning
sometimes spending less than 10 mins a house

two brush strokes across the top of the pane!!!!! on to the next. good high flow rate rinses while you brush. thats what wfp is all about.
I am now cleaning 3 houses an hour! ;D

No i dont rinse either, i scrub for longer though, with a decent flow rate its pointless rinsing after! Just wastes water.

practice on your own house,try different techniques and flow rates
my flow is around 45psi,across the top twice, then down to the bottom then back up, move along do it again i may repeat this action depending on the size of the window and finish with a zig zag motion
-
i always rinse a bit more on hot days esp at the bottom of the windows.i work with a mega high flow all year round.never had any problems.
i always rinse after scrubbing usually off the glass unless its over 25 ft.
