Britains Slowest Window Cleaner
« on: April 01, 2011, 08:21:34 pm »
We all know who's the quickest but who is the slowest? No prizes, but how long does it take you to clean a 3 bed semi with no conservatory, I reckon know more than 15 minutes from pulling up to leaving would be about average

I am not entirely sure who the slowest window cleaner in the land is, but I think that the one that works for me may well be a close runner up......... ::)

10-15 mins ish would be ok for me, maybe more if they were in. It would be properly clean with doors frames, and a quick once over the garage door. Regulars only, first cleans and one off's take longer and cost more.

wfp all round if out, maybe trad patio doors and kitchen

added: Doh!!! cleancare beat me to it
if it is dirty it is fair game

15 minutes.  Sometimes a bit less.  Sometimes a bit more.  Depends on what end of the day and if it's a comfortable day or 90F degree heat.  Depends if they are in or out too sometimes.

I always thought I was the slowest! I've even taught others to clean windows and they are faster than me!

It takes me about 35 minutes hour to do a 3 bedroom semi, probably about 25 to clean and 10 to check that all is well (I am a little obsessive when it comes to making sure that I haven't made any mistakes).

Guess how long it took me to write this!  ;D
