Sparkle and Gemma. Get your systems out at the weekend and do you own windows.
1) do one like you do a custies
2) do one at half that speed
3) do one at breakneck speed.
Wait for them to dry and compare results.

The only way to gain 100% confidence of what you are doing is to see the results

I  found that when i started i was taking ages to do a house , i reckoned i needed to do 4 semi's per hour to earn my target hrly rate . At first i was doing 2 per hour but as time went on i found i was getting faster , i didn't think i was doing them differently just faster and the faster i went the less water i used. I'm not quite at 4per hour [ without rushing ] but 3 is easy , took me about 6mths , in time i think 5 per hour will be my new target.
One thing i do do differently is setting up and packing away , i know i'm loads faster on that now. Also using one 20ft brush to do up and downstairs [ just collapse it for bottoms ] when i can.

A twenty foot brush would clean two houses at the same time i would imagine

Stephen C Brophy - Niice video! Much better seeing things from the inside.

Gemma - I was like you. I still take too long, but to a lesser extent now. After taking advice on technique, I did what Helen is suggesting and I am now spending less and less time on my own house, and my customer's houses, with results that are just as satisfactory. Getting quicker all the time now.

I did have a small number of windows where one, or two, panes always required more attention - but, over time, even they became less problematical.

I don't use the Freedom trolley, mine is a DIY one that carries 2x 25 liter containers, I would do at least 5 average semi's with those, that's using a Varistream digital on setting no 2.
I carry 250 litres on the van, but never use all of them even on my longest day, I average about 1 hour per container.
