Title: 2.4 gallons?
Post by: Llaaww on March 07, 2007, 10:36:05 pm
According to Guinness World Records, the world's fastest window cleaner is Terry Burrows of South Ockendon, Essex, England, who cleaned three standard 45-inch x 45-inch office windows set in a frame in 9.24 seconds at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham in March 2005. He used an 11.8-inch squeegee and 2.4 gallons of water.[1]

Is it me or is 2.4 gallons a bit excessive for three small windows. no wonder there is a hose pipe ban :D

Methinks that item wasn't properly proof read ;D

Must be one helluva fat applicator is it wasn't!

2.4 gallons of water...and just 9 seconds for 3 windows...Terry must have arms like Popeye!!! :o

Would only be about a cup full of water at most! For speed work you don't want a sopping wet applicator!
