Washing doors withwfp

Noticed that some doors leak so im thinking about trading the door glass and wiping the door over with a clean cloth instead of cleaning them with wfp  ???

Generally I don't for that very reason plus in winter when the standing water can ice up in front of the door

PVC doors I pull the handle up to lock all the
Shutter bolts then they don't tend to leak, if I
get a complaint then I get the cloths out, only 2
Jobs out of 300 ish ain't bad

I've only been wfp for 6 weeks odd but I do doors with it, its great the way the brush get in all the mouldings on the door. Had a few close moments almost soaking a few custy's though!

All too often the rubber seals within the door frame are faulty or damaged or the reveals are blocked. You can't tell by looking but ensuring the door is locked in as tight as possible by pulling the handle will help.

Also will the dirt hiding at the back of the door sill every stop going back over it? Doing first circuit of wfp but no matter how many times I go over it the dirt keeps coming back, ended up using a sill cloth today.

General policy......do doors.
If the door leaks. Customer will soon say. Then don't do the door.
My customers with open porches tend to like it Iff we wash out the porch floor too.

some i wfp that have a lip at the bottom and are upvc but not during the very cold winter months.wooden doors get a quick wipe down with a damp microfibre.if im running low on water, again i just wipe down with a cloth.

some customers love it and some customers prefer me to wipe down with a cloth.
