Title: help cant stop rinseing
Post by: drew86 on October 12, 2006, 05:21:33 pm: How do I stop myself rinseing the windows when I can quite clearly see they are clean.
I know it sounds stupid but I am getting to third cleans now and the windows are hardly dirty, just a bit of dirt on frames but i keep rinseing like i am on a first clean.

I always quickly go over the frames, then glass, quick rinse and then sills every time. The whole thing takes about 30 seconds for an average new build house window.

does anybody else always rinse????

Wash 'n Rinse, wash 'n rinse.

Even now, I'll generally rinse twice if the glass is of the beading type. I rinse brush on, then if I see a pattern of droplets left by the brush, rinse again with the brush off.
