When poling ground floor windows, do you clean the window sills:
Just with a brush
Just with a cloth
With a brush and then finish with a cloth?
-
turn water off and wipe over with brush

litrally takes 30 seconds to quickly do it... say you do 20 houses in a day, cleaning the ledges with a cloth would only add 10mins onto your full day :o I only do the downstairs ones

H20 I think your great And doing well your got good head on ya shoulders at 21 keep the good work up !!! I do mainly commercial work so I use brush may be different with houses as there more particular office staff arnt as fussy prob because they dont pay the bill. Mind you we do a fair lot of schools and its window after window couldn't be arsed wiping clean cills with cloths 😁😜😳

Haha see the commercial contracts i have only 3 small ones i dont do the ledges either, i am mostly domestic thats probs why i spend that extra few mins! However i am one of the only ones in my area who wipes ledges after wfp, mayby when i am really busy i wont have the time either

I always wipe ground floor sills with a cloth as it takes no time and customers often comment on how nice it is to see a window cleaner who still cleans sills. I know it is not needed but customers like it so I am happy to keep doing this.
-
Nope.
WFP. That's your lot
-
Customer home; feeling I've been a fraction too quick? A fast wipe over of the fronts with my pole hose towel between ringing the bell and waiting for them to come to the door.
Customer not home; nope! - Unless a bit of dirty water or line of grit has run out onto the cill.
-
I always do seals and sometimes i trad bottoms too if a first clean or if custy is home Keeps customers sweet when you leave when they are dry and it only takes an extra min to do.
-
I just clean cills with the brush, but if I've cleaned the front door I always wipe it down otherwise it will drip on their carpet when they open it to pay me!

i got a new customer from a neighbour i do. she owes 2 cleans, windows only, i always give the sill a wipe over. front i charge £3 per 2 wkly. £3.50 4wkly. her neighbour said she wasnt very happy , i asked why. she told me she was expecting all frames and door and ledge to be cleaned.
i told neighbour i only quoted for window clean. all the rest are xtras i could add on for ££. door and frame.

I don't take on any job under £5.00 now that means they get a good job done even if its only 3 windows and a door!
-
I always wipe lower sills with a cloth doing them with brush takes longer .
And i always include doors and frame thats what proper window cleaners do ;D ;D . Mike
-
I quickly blade off the excess water & give them a quick wipe with a microfibre cloth...
if the easily inspected sills are spotless the custies are less likely to check the others by hanging out of the upstairs windows! ;D

where do you clean fronts for £5 in middlesbrough. h2o ::)roll ive never heard anyone saying they get charged £5 for a street house front around m/bro.
-
I normally wipe the sills at the front and most of the time the front door sill as it just finishes off the job but there are one that come up ok with out the need for wiping but if in any dought always wipe them as for what it takes
