Every time, but if I am struggling for time, I may miss the top frame.

I believe in treating folk how you want to be treated
If I was paying for it I would expect it as standard every time

If you have this as a sales pitch then it should be everytime, maybe just a quick brush over. I don't use it as a selling point, so they don't get done every time, but the frames are always clean, there is really any dirt on the glass after 4 let alone the frames!

I do clean the frames thoroughly on first cleans, then go over them every 2-3 months, they don't need any more than that to stay clean.

They get cleaned everytime, as Lee said - they're not realy that dirty after 4 weeks - so all it takes is a quick brush over to maintain their cleanliness.

YEP EVERY TIME IS NOT NEEDED..  unless you sold it that way...

1st cleans take me ages but im meticulous and this puts us in good stead for the regular maintenance cleans
keep it simple ,

i do em all each time, not really because its what they've paid for,  but because from what i've learned on here,  that a clean frame is the best way to avoid spotting

I thought thats the only way you could clean with wfp??? Cleaning glass only and not touching dirty frames with jets of water that will run all over the glass is just for magicians!!! IMO

Thats sort of what Iwas saying, it depends on the design of the window/frames sometimes you have to clean the frames otherwise you risk contaminated run off.

if you clean regular then technichaly your paid to maintain the cleaniness of the windows so you can clean as it suits and how you feel is best.

personaly i clean the frame that surrounds the glas every time and the frame behind that as it suits but that is most of the time.

i feel the frames have great importance as if you leave dirt on them you are inviting the chance for run marks

i think your actually creating work for your self by not cleaning the frames everytime cos it will take longer to clean them when they get dirty as apposed to keeping them clean everytime!
