When used in conjunction with a water fed squeegee this product is very good for cleaning windows - especially your upstairs windows so you can sack your window cleaner and save money!

only thing to worry about is other people seeing the end result and think it'll be the same when we do them

Thing is guys, here in Birmingham we dont sack our window cleaners. We dont have to. See, what happens is you EVENTUALLY find someone who comes more than once and then after a bit...well, after a bit it suddenly dawns on you that he doesn't come any more...ask the neighbours, no, they've not seen him either.

So, as i see it, the quip about 'sacking the window cleaner!' is probably meant as some kind of 'joke'. I have one of these brushes, it is more or less hopeless BUT its 100% more effective than my current window cleaner (who none of have seen now for about 2 months) who always tells me he does the bathroom window but never does.

Anyway, he's a decent enough bloke ( i just wish he'd do me bathroom window, heaven knows i give him enough tea and biscuits lol and pay him extra when i give him a clean damp cloth and cream cleanser to do t'sills) but i just don't know where he's gone...everytime i think about finding another one he suddenly shows up from out the blue!
