saw a windy on my patch today       trad no bucket or squeegee just watched him in amazement with a rag dont think it was even a scrim rubbing normal glass not leaded either didnt think folk cleaned windows like that anymore,would pee me off rubbing glass all day

[jakeandmia]

I have an old boy who works near some of my work,proper old school,1 cloth to rub and do ledge then he puts cloth in pocket of one of them old style body warmers...priceless

[mci services]

some of these old boys are fast as poop of a shovel scrimming windows and as long as you are fortnightly it would be easy enough

[Jackal]

yeh this one had a blue body warmer on aswell,and had what looked like pointey dancing shoes on, it made me chuckle  

[mlscontractcleaner]

I finished today at 4.00 and visited me ol' mammy as I was nearby and it was getting a bit dark. Left there at about 4.30 and drove home. At 4.45 in near darkness I'm driving towards my house when I stop to flash a few cars through a gap and as I wait I see a ladder with ladder mitts resting against a house window.

The householder had just arrived and the windy was doing a bottom window in the darkness. I heard her ask him in a somewhat irritated manner "How can you see what you're doing in this light?"

I didn't hear his reply as I had to drive on; but why on earth did he think it was a good idea to be cleaning windows by streetlight?

Stumac! Please learn how to post with a quote mate!

Yebbut - this was on a domestic.

[Jackal]

i have to agree commercial is something you can get away with in the dark as nobody there or people not bothered as long as they aint paying the bill but if a windy was doing my house in dark theres no way you can be sure you aint missed something

He was typing in the dark.

Turned the light on now, any wiy, your eyes adjust to the dark and you can see perfectly well, the only difference between commercial and domestic is the customers, train them if you want lots have said to me that windows still wet :

my mrs ped herself laughing a few weeks back - i told about my dream - it was a vivid one thet seemed so real - i woke up and really thought id done it.

i pictured meself with floodlights (lmao) on a house cleaning windows at 9pm at night and later on in dream i was saying to mrs - this is great im earning 500 a day thanks to those floodlights - what a wicked investment.

but she thought i was really dumb when i paused after telling her about dream and seriously pondered over whether it was possible ...she laughed again bur then totally cracked up when i said i wonder if id get away ith night vision goggles.
i know fanciful thinking but did make laugh at me own innocent naive belief that id get away with doing that. can you imagine a floodlit house in the street with the neigbours going christ that bloody window cleaners still at it.

No joke there is a windy in Elgin who puts a miners lamp on his head, might have upgraded to a decent mountain bike one by now... but still.
He just keeps going.

Funnily enough, you can get a better view cleaning in the dark, provided there's a decent light on inside.  Otherwise, no chance.  I once finished off a commercial job in pitch black.  The cleaners were inside and I asked them to leave the lights on until they were ready to leave.  This was ladder work quite a few years ago.  I could see the glass just fine (but not much else)

Most start early on shop windows before its light, but on house's after dark for safety reasons may be not a good idea.
