Hi jeff,

I cleand the outside of that two houses today with the small square panes. (Sash windows)

I cleaned all frames and glass with 000 water then went back to the start and did again. From what I could see, the glass was drying superb. Not a spot or a run.

The only problem I had was removing all the dirt from the bottom sill and the side frame of the window.

So when I finished I took the ladders off and took a damp cloth and just went round all the frames and wiped clean. Is there an easy way I could clean the frames with the pole or will I have to go up the ladder and wipe every time?

Cheers

Matthew

I dunno,
 I expect they will come cleaner with periodic cleans. It depends what the customer wants, expects and what  you think is right. You are using facelift can you angle the brush down for the cxap on the sills, next time before you do the glass. Mind you if you have detailed them with a cloth you wont need to do that next time.
Dont get to paranoid over the results or they will have you jumping thro hoops. Its a balance.

If you're able to turn your brush 90o you can blooter the side frames no bother. Sills on first floor and upwards are in need of a good sill brush. I think Jeff's in the process of producing that - ask him nicely or check out his latest posts.

Yes OK, instantly. 
The other way would be to take the fitting into Tesco and see if it fits the Melody brush head- or comes near it. Or Asda for the Bentley, or Co op for the Addis.
