he did rinse
Never used one in my life, but I've read enough on this forum to know that what I watched was a rushed botch job.

I wouldn't want to chance it though.

simon if you've never used a pole before how do you know how to do a good job with one. a house of that size could be done that quickly with a pole IF they were cleaned regularly and weren't too dirty and IF there was no bird muck on them. you will know being trad some days you get there and the windows aren't very dirty so your quick where as other days they can be absolutly filthy and take ages. to clean like that and rinse brush on you need a brush in good condition which is clean and a good flow of water and most importantly know how much water is needed to clean a window. when i first started wfp i always used to rinse brush off the glass but after much practice i have come to realise it does not make any difference if done correctly i was very sceptical at first about brush on rinsing but after checking many windows i know it can be done. also lifting the pole off the glass puts strain on your body not a lot but enough.

I said that if certain conditions were met, he might get away with it.
I'm sure that what I've just watched is wfp at its lowest!THERE IS NO WAY HE'S DONE AN EVEN HALF WAY DECENT JOB!!What he did would take me roughly 25 mins (inc conservatory but not the garage door)....trad.I reckon he might have the edge on me with the windows above the cons...just!...but as for the rest my result would be far far better.I'd charge £12 ish....that coconut shouldn't be charging a penny above £5
