Title: FIRST WINDOWS EVER THAT CANT BE WFP
Post by: Captain Scarlet on April 08, 2009, 05:50:44 pm: Ive come across my first windows ever that cant be wfpoled. They are in a narrow street of a large complex where the wind rushes down it.

The wind is carrying dirt and lands on the wet glass, and it not just a light covering, Ive never seen anything like it, they are getting coated in dirt only 5 mins after wfp them!! Back to the squeege for all the windows in this alley!

In the end i wrapped a towel around my brush and dried them off. Job done.

I agree, just like you would avoid cleaning high window with a wfp in high winds. Doesn't mean they can't be done with a water fed pole.

Post by: GTR Windows on April 09, 2009, 01:34:38 pm: try doing them when/after its been raining? all the dust and dirt will be wet so wont be able to pick up as much with the wind

??? :-\
This statement is completly incorrect and has no truth in it at all.

Post by: Captain Scarlet on April 09, 2009, 03:42:54 pm: I agree, dust will settle onto water because of its surface tension ( almost like its statically charged ).
