dont worry about doing circuls there just for show boating. he's moving his arms fast but not really fast at cleaning the windows i would say i'd be one maybe two pains infront of him. speed is good but you need to use it wisely,

you let the handle spin in your hand, i have done this with the mop but not a blade nor as good as he seems to do it!

Lots of slippy Fairy helps, use a loose grip and try to let the handle swivel in your grip, its easily done with a mop as its full of suds, with a blade its a bit harder, but practice helps.

Its just for those needy inadequate window cleaners amongst us, seeking attention  ;D

Never tried the circle thing, but i often blade two windows at once when they are next to each other, ive always been a bit ambi dextrous:)

now this trick really is a time saver. take money in right and place in to pouch but at the same time get change from left pouch. less time chatting more time earning!

i must be a wc anorak. i loved watching that.  ;D

Showboating or not, what a way to knock out high st windows.

If i could do that i wouldn't call it showboating. I would call it advertising.  :)
