Re: wfp - how important is the rinse

oh yes start at top of frame work round the frame first then go back and start the glass from the top, takes a bit of time to get used to but by the time you have finished your last window on the first house you have used it you will wonder what you worried about.

all frames then go back and do glass? or frame and glass on each window at a time?

any more tips on the first cleans? im guessing after 2-3 cleans i will be able to go over window with ease and no worries as should be really clean by then

On first cleans I usually do all frames and glass.  When completed I go round again and do glass only.  Bear in mind on the first pass that it's perfectly OK to do a property one side at a time (saves hose movements).  However, on the second pass you really ought to try to work things so that the dripping has stopped (or slowed a lot) above a ground floor window before cleaning it.

For me - good rinsing is the key to leaving the windows as clean as possible.  Only one (minor but justified complaint in 5 years WFP).

I also spend a lot of time on the first clean - it pays dividends in the long run.  If they are particularly bad, I try to connect to the customers outside tap and give a good scrub and rinse with that.  Saves wasting pure water if you have limited supply due to transport size..  I then go back to the first window and clean in the normal way with pure water.  This works well for me.

If you make a good job of the frames to start with they only need a quick brush on each visit to keep them from building up with more dirt.  If you don't keep them reasonable, after a while you will end up in the same situation as when you did the first clean.

Hope some of this helps you mate.

I do the frames and glass in one scrub rather than doing the frames first and then the glass,just do the lot and a good rinse on a high flow,I prefer fan jets,alot faster than pencil ones,especially one windows that bead ;)
