I thik it was just to show how fast it can be done , I am sure there are people out there that are that quick.

But how long did it take him to get into his car, at the end of the video it looked like he had locked himself out

I notice he didn't collect any money or put a bill through.  Causes me to think it was a put up job.

[cybersye]

ha ha! ofcourse it was
I'm sure it was just to show how quick it can be done, looks like some blatant advertising too.
The "average house" hey? Notice the gate was open, no rubbish in the alley or cars on drive, no potted plants or ornaments to get snagged on, or washing line! or bird mess on the glass etc. and did anyone else notice the young lad just out the frame who appears to be holding the hose reel so it does'nt roll away as he marches off with the hose and pole?

[williamx]

I think he is trying to show how a house can be cleaned using a wfp and how simple and easy it is to use.

I would not have cleaned that way, I would have cleaned all the top windows at the back first then cleaned the consevatory windows next then the conservatory roof, then the bottom windows.  

The reason for this is when you clean the conservatory roof it has more dirt debris and this can contaminate the brush head which makes cleaning the other windows harder.

Also for the same reason I would clean the garage door last.

If this was a first clean then I think that the results would be bad, but if it was a regular clean, then the windows could be perfect, as after you have removed all of the intial dirt from the frames and glass then the folowing cleans are more of a maintance program and you can be faster.

I would not work at that speed but I would not be far behind, say around 15 minutes.  On a first clean it could be upto 1 hour, depends on the state they are in.

[AuRavelling79]

Ok - how many times did his brush hit the tiles, or the join between the soffit undersides and the top of the window frame (where the spiders nests are in real life.) ?

What about the side of the conservatory roof he can't get to?

How about when he wipes the cills and little bits of grit leech out so you do it again.

No rinsing off.

Bits of window edge missed where they meet the frame occasionally.

Order of work unwise too - as mentioned by others. Upper windows dripping on to lower ones.

Slap-dash.

On a proper maintenance clean I reckon that house would take me 15 mins, but I wouldn't do the con roof (well the two-thirds he did) or the garage door in that.

[sair]

of coarse it was a set up to demonstrate how quick wfp is, iam sure its ruben! but havnt seen him in 8 years so could tell, time ages us all.
but at least he was sweating had to wipe his brow walking towards the cab.

he did rinse, just in a different manner to most.

 and if it was a regular job would have been fine! thats for sure and without a dought.

 it would be cleaner than trad as it was a hot day but he did have a very high flow, lets face it we all know how hard trad is especially in the sunny days, hats of to those who still stick to it .

my only criticism was why to clean the  con roof before doing the up on the left as would have made sense to clean them whilst pole in the air,

i think 12 mins to 15 is a fair time if you do 3 an hour  even dropping in bills, i never collect even if there in just leae a pre done invoice ,its not a bad wagerfealy is it , still doing 10 - 12 houses a day is still good days work

i am sure some would say i am wrong, but i think the key to houses is one pole and i am still awiating the perfect pole for houses to sell and use

perfect pole would be 5x4 foot section weighing 1 kg as iam little soft and want it even easier since using wfp even if its not east enough

[EasyClean]

Anyone can clean windows that quick if it's a regular wash with no birds mess, etc. Obviously he had his waterflow turned up very high. He was a bit 'careless and brute force attitude' around the window frames to prove his point how quick WFP can be. The rinsing was more than sufficient although he didn't wash the upstairs sills properly. He cleaned the windows, conservatory and garage door in the wrong order. Should have done all tops, front door (so it's drip dry when asking for the money), conservatory, garage door then bottom windows. I clean windows in the right order, with a flow controller fitted to the top of my base pole section so that I don't waste water and am a bit more careful in avoiding hitting the soffits, walls, etc by going a little slower and more cautiously avoiding plant pots, washing lines, etc, probably 15 minutes for that job. Also, I would leave a safety bollard warning of trailing hoses on the public pavement for 'Joe Public' which I never saw him do. I must be getting fast because today I cleaned 8 windows compared to a newish chap I've never seen before across the road from me who cleaned 1 window with his WFP in the same time. 1st time I've ever been able to compare my speed to someone else. Reminded me of how slow I use to be, not anymore thanks to the help I've received from this forum

[Clear Vision]

Dont care what anyone says! I like it now

We all know its a rushed job and the quality is probably not up to a good standard.

I know before I started wfp I wondered what it was. That will really give newbies a ROUGH idea what wfp work is all about.

It the only FULL wfp video of a house clean I have seen.

Fair play!

Far too quick and all in the wrong order. Zero effort to sills and not allowing top windows to stop dripping onto the lower ones will result in dust being picked up from the bricks on the way down, net result, spotted lower window panes.

And this lot train new window cleaners. What a joke.

[LWC]

i do just think its out there to show the speed it can be done in. i have done houses like this and never had any complaints...well to be fair i do lift off to rinse but as said, with experience lifting off isnt always essential

a well looked after house will make wfp this easy to use

I wondered if it was Reuben as well Tony.  Similar build and the sort of clothes he wears.  Picture quality was a bit poor to be certain though.

That didn`t look like reuben to me.

Thats the 1st time I have seen someone use a Pole wash, man thats quick, have to get myself one

That video is just a teaser of how fast WFP can be if you're working really fast. It would be hard to work constantly all day at that pace unless you're young and very experienced at recognising the pitfalls to watch out for.

I don't think you're wrong tony. I use a 12ft extender exclusively when i can get away with it and it has made me significantly quicker.
When you find the perfect pole let us know.

Why is it suggested to lift your brush off to rinse?

Why is it suggested to lift your brush off to rinse?

As an example. If you wash your car with a sponge do you rinse off the dirty water by either hose pipe or throw a clean bucket of water over it. If the answer is yes then that is why you don't get dirt left on the paintwork.
As for window cleaning the brush is dislodging the dirt, some will stay on the glass and some will transfer onto the brush bristles, hence why you only want clean water rinsing the glass.

[xxmattyxx]

Ta muchly 

[TennetClean]

That might be the case when washing your car but not when using a WFp.

You totally do not need to take the brush off the glass to rinse, I know that because I learned the hard way.

I always used to lift the brush off the glass and allow a good flow of water to rinse it all down, until I discovered it was unneccessary.

So theres my tip of the day, if you are one of those guys who rinses by lifting the brush off the glass, then forget it.  You dont need to.

I just allow the water flowing through the brush to rinse, and it works perfectly.  If you use a pole over 30 feet it is very difficult to lift off anyway.

The way its done on that video is just fine if you ask me.

but doing a job like that , in such a slap dash way is why WFP gets a bad name! and possibly why some say they can do a job in 10 minutes where it would take me - doing a decent job around 25 - 30 mins.

So after washing the back door he goes over the window again with the cXXp off the bottom of the door. Then he cleans the side window, wipes the sill and then goes over the window again with the mess off the sill! Dirt and rubbish off the bottom of the garage door goes straight onto the next window.

Very sloppy and unrepresentative of a decent job.

Put up demonstration jobs like this should stay in a cupboard cus they are not worth looking at.

[dave0123]

Soo..

to someone who is about to invest into the wfp setup... how long would that house take doing a proper job not slap dash... say without the conservatory roof being cleaned..

Thanks Dave
