Not for me. Mop and blade every time. I couldn't care less if the customer thinks it looks less professional or not but a mop and blade will be quicker and do a better job when used correctly.

I use one where you have to be carefull on certain insides,works brill on inside of conny roofs.
Plus I bought the karcher extension pole for mine I use it on glass conny roofs, as I found before you can rinse to the cows come home and still have those tiny annoying debris left the size of sand,the karcher takes care of those.
Warning bin the crappy blade and replace with unger or a brand name

Practice your trad skills again. I clean inside a factory once a month every month trad and you soon pick it up again :)

 I would agree with Seamus little waffle glass cloths, use one damp to clean and one dry to polish off for a streak free finish, no mess no spills and the finish is always perfect, it dose not get any easier for internals.

Whether it's waffle cloths or microfibres, for semi regular internal cleans, it's quicker with cloths on most windows for those that started with WFP.

I've found the waffle cloths (even though they are a type of microfibre) far superior to a normal microfibre, they have a sort of tight weave about them and leave no lint. To be honest, they remind me of a really good scrim, only better.

In general though when asked to do internals its because they are minging and havn't been done, and using mop and blade can be a very messy job. Its fine on shop or factory windows, no so good in someones house with beige carpets, cream leather sofa and marble everywhere.
And if you're doing internals as maintainance, then a cloths well quicker and easier than any blades. Thats my opinion anyway.

 Oh, the Karcher. I've used my mates and think its great. Although i do find the cloths easier as their battery never runs out.  ;D

I said a office block not other jobs lol i dont take domestic inside jobs as usually they are a nightmare!
Its for a commercial office block, aslong as they are clean i cant see them minding how they are done? I do the outside WFP and usually squeeqy  and blade the insides. However i am so slow because i dont often use trad that i wondered if anyone uses them:)

is this the same office block that as people working in it ? the same people that may use your services ? all them new customers you could have because your a top window cleaner in a nice van and a uniform , then you pull out a vac nice !

see where I am comeing from
