In another thread, one member states that another member isn't a window cleaner, but a water fed pole operative.

So what IS a window cleaner?

A window cleaner is someone who cleans windows regardless of what methods all tools that are used still clean windows so it`s just a choice of what each and every individuals chooses to use  ;)

Where is the option for ALL available tools, WFP, ladders, and all the rest of the trad gear!

A light=hearted topic, and no doubt we'll see some interesting suggestions....


But what is a window cleaner?........er, methinks our title says it all, a window cleaner is someone who...er...well, cleans windows! ::)

Although I will loftily claim to any Luddite that might enquire, that I am a "Visual Clarification Specialist" ;)
Or is someone I think is snobby and up their own proverbial rear ends asks what line I am in, then I will inform them that I am in the business of visual clarification...


Apparently people who work in large company's accounts departments now like to call themselves; "Human Resources officers".....wonder if that comes with a badge??

WFP guys are just scared of heights and cant clean windows good enough or fast enough trad so they have to spend thousands on a wet brush/pole/system and still end up doing a crap job then they come on ere moaning theyve lost ANOTHER customer!! ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I guess logically, & regardless of which method you use, IF the window is 0.01% cleaner than it was before you set to work on it, then it is cleaner, & you are therefore a window cleaner, lol ;D

That should please the less fussy ones amongst you.

ian well said well a window cleaner is a chappie who turns up at your property and makes those windows sparkle again if the custie is happy with the service i can safely say that you are a windowcleaner regardless how you do it so lets get a grip on this thread and stop banging about trad or wfp
