Guys

When you rinse, do you lift the brush off the glass?

Reason I ask is on the new WFP dvd they rinse with the brush touching the glass.

Sure I could save lots of time if I didnt keep trying to hold the brush 6 ins away whilst rinsing. And save straining my back.

I rinse with brush off the glass , wish i had the confidence to rinse with the brush on , I'd rather guarantee a good job 100% of the time for sake of speeding up a bit

[busted]

i also rinse with the brush about 6 inches way from the window i didnt know you could rinse  with the brush on the window

[Bobs Window Cleaning]

Neither did I untill I watched the DVD.

Emailed Peter F and he said he always rinse on the glass. Like you chris, I aint that confident.

I have a very small mono brush and after i`ve scrubbed i can get away with moving the brush from side to side at the top of the glass,it`s only efective if i have a higher flow than normal.I don`t have a problem rinsing off the glass because i use a superlite pole,using this pole should cure your back problems when rinsing.

if you rinse with the brush on the window you risk leaving dirt behind you need to rinse with the brush off.who to say this guy who has made this dvd knows what he is on about.i bet he makes all sorts of dvd.and wrights books on it.

how to make it big in window cleaning step by step

[Sir Squeaky]

Definately.

I had a few customers point out brush marks.
That's from not rinsing away from the glass.

am I the only one who does both?  I don't know why but sometimes I rinse on then sometimes off, even on the same house!

my experience tells me rinsing on is fine provided the brush is ahead of the water.

[Dean Aspects]

Maybe i am being a bit thick here but how can the brush be ahead of the water

[matt]

i watched peters video and thought the same

im no WFP expert, but ive been doing it for 4 years now BUT i feel safer in the knowlegde that i rinse with the brush off

[EasyClean]

I always rinse with the brush on. Never have any complaints. It's all down to the brush and method used. Why make life hard for yourself?

[Bobs Window Cleaning]

Im gonna try it out on my own windows. This could save soooo much time.

[Chris Cottrell]

Get the price right then you wont need to "save soooo much time" 

[NWH]

That`s a good comment,when the price is good you don`t need to rush round as much you get to take your time and in general do a better job.

1st floor brush off the glass, when you get past 2nd/3rd floor you real should be rinsing on the glass, I have been doing it this way for 5 years now with no problems  

ANDY
PS when I say "on the glass" I mean lift the brush head on one side!

[NWH]

That`s what i do above first floor,also never had any problems.

I do both, rinse on when water sheets down, rinse off its the type of glass that beads.

It may not be the case of speeding the job up rinsing with the brush on the glass.  I always tell people that a window needs a certain amount of water on the glass before it is clean.  The same amount of water and time can be used with the brush on the glass.  What may happen though is a person can spend the time putting enough water on the glass for the window to be clean, and then lift the brush off the glass and rinse it again.  This would be a waste of both water and time and could not possibly make the window any cleaner.

The above statement is the reason I won't use a back-pack, the amount of time the brush has to be on the glass is greater because of the reduced water flow.  

I also would rather guarantee a good job 100% of the time as well, but this is done with technique, the proper amount of water, and the proper equipment, and not whether you lift the brush off the glass or not to do a finale rinse.

Its a bit like the detailing threads.  I would much rather learn to use a squeegee properly and not detail, rather than use a squeegee badly and detail afterwards.

Chris, it dosn't matter how well the job is priced, if you can do it with less effort in less time, the well priced job is even better priced.  You will have more energy more time and more water to do more work, or spend more time doing something you like better than window cleaning.

Clean team, I am the one on the video and never received a penny for it.
