If there’s debris I’ll pick it out and rinse it through , doesn’t take long does it , plus it keeps the drainage holes from blocking which would at some point cause water ingress in the future.
And that of course would be  “ THE WINDOW  CLEANERS FAULT “.   ;D ;D

I might clear a few leaves out of gap and give it a quick wipe with a cloth(before using wfp)if it's a first clean but on normal maintenance cleans.....no........

Pull out leaves/moss etc. with my fingers and then i stick a cloth in the channel for a few seconds to soak up the water and wipe the track clean.
Doesn't take long but looks so much better than just leaving it as it was.
