What is your magic number of glass agitation before you are happy to rinse? What changes the game for you?

3

3 is the magic number.

There was a video posted here that said 2? I think it is more complicated though. Frames are a factor and do you count overlaps? I certainly wouldn't go three times over one of the huge lounge windows you sometimes see except on a first clean.

So, my answer is "depends". Mind you I got dumped the other day because "on close inspection we wasnt that impressed" so what do I know?

I think 2 or 3 agitation's is the norm if it is not a real dirty job/first clean. Some may be agitating more than they need to, hence, lowering their earning potential across a working week.

i do 2 sweeps across the top and then a down and up stroke on the rest of the glass.  only time you need more is first cleans or bird muck in my opinion

Is that after 4 weeks, 8 or 12? Or all?

Over the winter until april I was zig sagging down in 1, working with a high flow rate.
But since april the majority of my round has been very dusty so i'd say 2 is the number now.

ruddy hell lee!are your running out of things to talk about in regards to window cleaning?

on topic it depends on the job!if theres snail trails then a good few more scrubs,same for pollen off trees etc,weather conditions(i scrub more and rinse more in hot dry weather).

if its cloudy and damp then its "splash and dash,give me the cash" sort of thing!

some of my customers say(this happens EVERY week)"are you sure you ve cleaned all of them?" if there in when i clean.i simply say "you must of blinked when i cleaned that window!"
