You can now clean windows in the dark.
Some times you have not got a choice, early morning or cleaning windows of a night.
This will allow you to clean windows at times it is quite also.

Bolt an umbrella on your pole and clean in the rain too.
-
Why would need an umbrella??
Don’t work in the rain.
Know some people do.
Same as some people find themselves they have to do certain jobs in a under lit areas.
Cleaning windows isn’t any different.
This is where it comes in handy.

I used to do a couple of commercial jobs that had to be done at night but they where well lit anyway so didn't need any
lighting at the windows.
Don't think my domestic customers would be happy if I turned up in the dark.

Put a pair of wellies on and clean whilst youre digging the spuds over.

Have you thought of patenting the idea?
Bolt a torch to your pole to illuminate your surroundings.

I know of a windy that cleans at around 4-30 5 o'clock in the winter,he thinks his customers don't care but I've heard otherwise. Some custies just haven't got the front to tell him but they don't like it
-
There are lot of places that want you not to clean while there open.
And found that then there are dimly lit so this is where you need this.

Or of course, do as Jolly Dave Digbright of Wealstone does. Tell them to shut up shop whilst you shammy the glass off and they can re-open for business once you've finished as there's no way you're wearing a baseball cap equipped with weapons embedded in it that terrorists use on the outskirts of Heathrow Airports periphery to try to bring down 747 jumbo jets. We're window cleaners not hooked clawed preachers from the Yemen ;)

Dark time means home time

I just don't believe someone thinks doing domestic in the night is viable.
It really is time to turn off all power in the UK for about 3 weeks in the winter. This will mean the weak and stupid will die while waiting for someone to sort things out, and the country can get back to moving forward, instead of having to spend time explaining basic social skills to people who find it all just a bit too hard to understand.
2am, and some geezer is lying in bed with his alarm set at 6.30 to get up for work. Outside, some mong has tipped up to clean the windows. Next doors dog goes ballistic, setting off a few others in the street. Can you see where this is going, or shall we start using match stick men drawings to help?

Look no domestics are getting done in the dark.
I do commercial and work in the dark, your eyes adapt to it, or even better go put the lights on inside the building and it's the best way to clean windows.
Been doing work through the nights for years, and I know he man has some good ideas but this isn't one of them, if you really wanted to light up the area your working in you either go to b&m buy a torch or elastic that goes around ya head wen going walking through caves and put it around ya brush. Simple.
Or
Park a bit further back and whack ya full beam lights on......... Hey presto
Or
I was thinking or having 2 spot lights fitted to outside of roof rack that could run off battery, simple flick switch and it's like Blackpool lights.
Happy days
-
each to their own but ive never started before 8am in 22 years of window cleaning.
normally these days my work gets cleaned between 9am-4pm.
-
Great tip for commercial.
Cheers h man

Did video on our own windows yes it not for homes.

Is ideal.

I do commercial work sometimes in the dark, mainly during the winter months, but with wfp which is a different ball game to trad.
Anyone who does trad in the dark, especially with a pole in the dark, torch or no torch, cannot know how good a job they are doing.
Regardless, doing trad with a pole? From ground level you may think you are doing a fantastic job but the chances are, you are not.
There again, if the customer is happy with the job, and the money is right, that is all that matters.

I guess you would have to be really poor or desperate, or both to want to work in the dark :-\
-
Here's another one for the WFPs.
This is not mine idea.
So there are many others out there as well.
Would imagine they are not poor or desperate.?

Its not a case of cleaning at night. Buut many on here i see have work a long way from home, as I do. When the nights cut in and you still have 4 houses to do, do you Come back tomorrow, spending another £30 on diesel and missing the round you should be doing that is 50 miles in the other direction?
The light is a good idea, especialy in the twilight.
For 20 odd years i worked underground and worked by the light of a cap lamp, So if you can carry out all that work in the dark then cleaning a few windows should be no problem.
The cap looks a good idea, but the chinese are now doing some fantastic mining lamps that are good value, a very good beam, which knocks spots off most of the outdoor head torches. They also have a long life battery that these days will fit in your pocket and the price includes the charger
Excellent idea

Can't be that good, that's a concrete wall not glass - I didn't know Ray Charles was back cleaning windows ???
-
So the point making here that there are situation where you may not have an opportunity to clean windows of a day time and/or because of places that it is not possible to see if you are cleaning it properly.
If you have any other ways to do this great, please share!! ;)
