Only to make sure you do a good job. With WFP, this could well mean going over it twice - in sections to avoid excessive hose moves - and to use plenty of water on the first clean.
Best of luck.

Good luck Mate
Take your time and it will be fine ;)

Good luck mate, it's scary the first one. I kept thinking everybody was watchin me, but as long as you look confident they soon get bored.... ;D

Have you had a go on your own windows,i wouldn`t go straight in on a job having not used it before.If you have good luck.

Treat it like an initial clean on a domestic property - when you get to the end go back and check your work.
If it isn't good enough do it again

i am not a newbie to wfp but only commercial i do domestic basicly buta few shops ect so this is my first proper comercial contract i usually do frames on first cleanes but just wondering what you guys do on commercial first cleanes do you treat them like domestics ;)
-
I expect all our commercials to be done to the same standard as any domestic. Clearly that is not always the case because our local
Homebase must be using a right bunch of muppets going by the mess standards they leave yet still get paid for it.
A window is a window so treat as per domestic.

just be sure to carry extra water if you are some distance from home, or have the facility to refill on the spot, am sure you will do fine, just rinse plenty
-
thanks all will report back tommorow once again thanks
-
As mentioned before, rinse plenty, check, rinse again if needed and re-check before leaving the job, and good luck dude ;D

Start top left.
Scrub the top of each frame then immediately the sides and top of cill, then go back over the glass immediately scrubbing well.
Do the same at the next set of windows etc.
Now go back to the start and just clean the glass (you can touch the top of the frame a bit) thoroughly again and rinse.
Now do the same at the bottoms.
Blade off any entranceway doors (don't worry about side panels).
Are you doing insides too? If not and you can gain access then thoroughly clean the entranceway glass on the inside if it's only a couple of doors.
Get someone to sign that you have completed the work if you are invoicing and have any doubts about payment.

well all went well took a bit longer than expected had to do windows twice .thanks malc gold took your advise m8 thanks for that. after second clean spotless. even better i found out that they pay weekly not monthly ;D ;D
so i get paid each week for it brill. just need to send invoice in by end of week for pay next. nackerd though as it was an early start lets hope its a the start of more work from them as it could turn out regional thanks once again for all your support. m.b.s.

Would you do Domestic first cleans like that aswell? Or would you get away with doing the front first, top and then bottom frame and glass, then clean the glass top, and then bottom? Or would that be too risky on some houses with dripping water from the top? Would work if it's big enough wouldn't it?
-
good luck mate i think the secret is look proffesional and confident as if you do loads like this.act as if somone is watching you e.g make a big show like keep checking your work as you go along this is what builds confidence in you.
