Title: pollution
Post by: gary999 on April 03, 2014, 03:38:39 pm
Didnt have a lot on today just a couple of large properties
was spotting with rain on the first clean by the tme i had finished
the front the first windows i cleaned were dry and absolutely filthy

These properties are both on the main road into the city center
what with the traffic and the heavy mist it was a waste of time
i could actually taste the air.So gave up and came home will resume
hopefully tomorrow :)

Anyone else had similar problems?

Something for all those that say "rain doesn't make windows dirty". It doesn't, usually, and if they are not likely to get spray drift from a busy road. If you are by a busy road, have a manufacturing plant / builder's merchant / similar nearby in some circumstance rain DOES make windows dirty.

I noticed it aswell Gary!
The windows were absolutely filthy of sand today!

Did full day and sand all came off but worried that the rain this evening will make them just as bad! Hope customers don't think I have not cleaned them!
No complaints yet but sort of expecting a few  :-\
