scrub

rinse
rinse
rinse

Other than those simple words, make sure you clean all the frame on the first clean.  Start upstairs all the way round, then back to do downstairs all the way round.  Once you have done this, go back to the first window upstairs and rinse just the glass all the way round, then do the same downstairs all the way round (if that makes sense)

Then next time you clean that house (I assume 4 weeks later) the frames will just need a quick rinse and the windows will nt spot (just remember to rinse well) and you only have to go round once.

I always go round to do a second rinse on first cleans.  It takes twice the time, but it makes a good job great.

Hope this helps...

I picked up a tip from another forum when I first went wfp and still do it now and touch wood, have had no spotting probs on ist cleans. Dip your brush in a solution of pure water with just a couple of drops of gg3 (and I mean just a couple),before doing each window,and clean as you normally do on a 1st clean, making sure you rinse off well using a good flow rate. It goes against the whole idea of using pure water adding detergent, but it works.
