thanks again,
lol... drips in my area too..

i think if i can wipe them away i would feel better.... i like to walk away fro a house knowing i have done the best i can..... yes i may be worrying too much but if i was cleaning a window 3 storeys high, how can i see it?  how do i know that it looks clean?...

also can i ask one final question ( it wont be) ;)...

when you wash a window with wfp,, with your brush... at what point do you know when to rinse it?... if its 3/4 high, ... how do you know its clean?.... what if you rinse when it needs more cleaning, without binoculours how can you tell?........ i cant get my head around it... ::)

gary.

I found that the drips don't effect the end result. i have two people cleaning, one tops one bottoms. we just move from one end of the house to the other. (the tops being cleaned first) as long as the windows have suffiecient flushing it doesn't cause us any problems. we have a few complaints every now and then but its normally on the first one or two cleans when the dirt hasen't been flushed off enough and specs or runs are left.

This is kind of off topic but is about WFP and Drips, what do you guys do about water hitting patios/paths in the winter and turning them into an ice rink?
Does this happen or is not enough water being used?

If it's not a first clean I turn down the water flow to reduce the amount of water that hits the path.  I also carry a container of rock salt around with me in case of freeze up.

I must be a glutton for punishment then, last winter i had water freezing on the glass as soon as it was applied.
Plus fingers sticking to the ladders! Horrific.

Ok - brush cills at top with water switched off (like neil said)

Turn waterflow down in winter compared to summer.

I don't do entranceways in cold weather (wfp) if I think the water will linger - so I blade them.
It's a game of three halves!
