Im comparing this chap to how we clean. We certainly rinse more than what he is, but think the frames and glass is on a par.

How do you compare?

Could've done the whole front in the time it took him to to the first window.
And he didn't do the cill.
Also, is that really an SLX? Looks very floppy.

Queue everyone who cleans at the same speed being called slow or thorough
and anyone quicker being called 'splash & dash'

To be honest I'm a bit quicker but not far off, and I rinse a bit longer.

I do feel that I over clean aswell. Could get away with less. But I like being thorough.

Were the same then.

We would clean the top half of each window first, and then do the bottom halfs. Again, prob being to thorough but just how we like to work.

cleaning sill before he cleans glass

i would clean top two openers first rinse then clean bottom
two and sill last. Then move across same on other window

then clean bottom windows etc,top  frame the sides ,glass
then bottom frame,quick rinse if maintenance clean then sill

if i have a good flow i rarely rinse on new builds like that
never have a problem

He faffed around a lot...was too slow

And I would have dropped down to the window to the right of the door first, then cleaned the door, then left ground floor window to minimise drips on the ground floor  windows.

7 mins to do front so say 7 on back and a little for sides = 18 mins

£12, front and back.  Includes cills.

How long would this take you then Ian?

yep same here

[rosskesava]

I'd take about the same time.

[Clever Forum Name]

It's obviously a video for his customers to see so he is hardly going to slap dash.

Loads of errors but as OP is not in the video. Don't see the point in listing them.

But most errors have Ben mentioned.

Going on the pump sound. He has a decent flow though.

[bravo20]

I probably brush a bit less and rinse a bit more, would also do the downstairs right first to minimise drips on the left.

Nice to see a VARIETY of styles though (pun intended)

[mikeyfaerosyth]

Really slow.

In Scotland the prices may be a bit lower than some southern softies so we work twice as quick and make simillar money

[trippyboy]

If I was this slow I would pack up for good and become a hairdresser,this bloke tooke 1 min 38 seconds on first window,i would have had all front windows and door done in this time.

I would really like a video of that.

So you would have that whole house done in less than 5 minutes? I need to see to believe.

[Peter Fogwill]

I also would be doing the whole of the windows in the time it took for the first window, and they would be done thoroughly.  The pump sounded loud but you can see by the lack of water under the ledges and the part of the wall he wet going from window to window that the water was on low.  A lot of unnecessary wiggling of the brush.  7 minutes for the front of a house is longer that I used to clean traditionally 15 years ago.

Cranking up the water feed would easily cut his time in half, and he would use the same amount of water.

Im very keen to see you boys clean this quick?

Not that I dont beleive you, just curious

[Ian101]

assuming its not a 1st clean then and monthly

2 x top tops left to right                      
2x bottom tops left to right
drop down to do door and small window (very quick pass)
go right and do top of bottom
go left do tops of bottoms
go right again to do bottom of bottoms
go left to do bottom bottoms

same on rear / sides

prob OTT by splitting windows in half but this way IMHO stops runs as much as possible
2 mins for tops and prob 3 mins for bottoms
rear same method about 5 mins and a few seconds for bathroom window scrub no rinse

all windows get wipe with brush on frames and glass gets 1 pass up and down and 1 across zig zagging down and quick rinse on all

prob circa 11 /12 mins for house ........... if you didnt split windows in halfs then prob under 8 mins in total but prefer not to rush them ............ if u ever see Richard isparkle working then he would have this house done in about 5 minutes (not bs ask Bob Plumb)

Aye that boy likes a guid wiggle, I am defo splash n dash compared to him.
