Yes I park up and watch windies work...

I all so park up out side windies houses and and watch
There wife's get undressed whilst I stroke my squeegee...

I find you get a better response from the ladies and sometimes the blokes when you put extra soap on the applicator and give it a good hard rub whilst flicking off the excess foamy soap from the end of your tool 

Seriously I bet he was trad and pretty useless and lazy to boot by the looks of it, but I've seen some pretty shoddy wfp work on my travels as well as some awful trad, I guess, as in most professions you get good and bad workers.

The guy is trad. Lazy n useless. I aint one to gossip but I believe he had drug related troubles and ran up a hefty coke bill

On the water fed pole v trad theme. When I used to clean domestics traditionally I used to wipe all the frames down with a towel and make sure they were spotless.

Now I'm employed and clean water fed pole. I've been told not to clean the frames as my boss charges extra for this services. I tried to explain how dirty frames can contaminate clean glass but it falls on deaf ears. I've only been cleaning windows 10 years, my boss has never clean a window in his life so who am I to try to advise.


Anyway point is some traditional cleaners do a better job than some water fed window cleaners. I don't class myself as trad or wfp. I class myself as a window cleaner and just see both as different tools in my van to do my job.

Get working for yourself - or at least for someone who will appreciate you!

That's a really great post - you should seriously think about going on your own , you have a good attitude to the job( you don't work for me by the way?)

An excellent comment, like you we use both and the end result is exactly the same regardless of the method, it's the person doing the cleaning who dictates the end result not a brush on a pole or a piece of towel.
