GROUND FLOOR WFP OR NO?
« on: July 22, 2009, 04:54:05 pm »
Just wondered what you guys do. I have always done the tops of the houses whilst someone else follows doing the gorund floor with a squeegee. Im thinking of doing everything wfp

I only use traditional on dodgey windows downstairs and front and back doors. everything else is WFP Baaaabbbyyyy.
Why use traditional method downstairs, its a lot quicker to WFP, why take 15 mins on a job do half & half when it would take you 10mins WFP all the windows?

Because whats the point in getting 2 hoses, 2 poles to do a house, getting all tangled up, one does tops other follows trad reel in off to next job.

If your going to use WFP on a property do it all that way,can't understand why people do bottoms with a blade after WFPing the top windows,can't be faffing about with two different methods of cleaning one house,I can understand using traditional on a bungalow but to WFP tops and squeegee bottoms................WTF ???
If you want to waste time then do it that way ;D

Yeah me too but sometimes I have help,I drop him off in a near by area with a trolly and I can carry on with the van mount,mind you all my customers are quite near to each other,I don't do a job unless the neighbours have it done too within a reasonable distance ;)

We use wfp for 99% of stuff with two people. We either do seperate properties or fronts and backs. It has to be a very special reason to get the Trad gear out now.

Why not, one does the front, and one does the back?  I have 2 sliding doors on the vans, and each door has a fixed hose reel. Ok you may cross over hoses at times, but they don't get all tangled up. Plus if your cleaning the frames at the moment, then by cleaning the downstairs frames by hand is going to take longer. You will be packing away your hose and getting your trad gear off to help finish.

i used to do trad downstairs, it worked very well and the customers prefered it

i now use WFP for up and down, and to be honest, i am getting a few ask me to do trad down again, they like to look out of a window and see it clean as i leave
