going to do my own house windows now i am set up to practise never used a wfp before any tips

[m.b.s.]

why is this then

[brightnclean]

YUP... get some valium!!  lol  

Sorry couldnt resist that  

1/   Work SLOWLY .. dont try to rush.

2/ Watch where you are putting your feet. Remember you will be looking up a lot of the time. Always take a glance at the ground before you move. Plant/plantpots. Drains. etc.

Ok to the cleaning.  NEVER get water above any bits you want to clean(Gravity) Scrub the frames first then rinse thoroughly. DONT get water in vents. Box the glass. By this I mean when you scrub the gladd give the edges/seals a VERY good scrubbing all the way around then scrub the rest of the glass. The RINSE VERY WELL.. starting at the top of the glass and zig-zag all the way down to the bottom of the glass. (If the glass sheets no need to zig zag but do get your jets right into the top seal.

Use common sense!!!  It is no way rocket science.  

Have fun!!  

[m.b.s.]

how do you mean if the glass sheets

[brightnclean]

You will see what I mean 

If th water runs down the glass in a nice lovely sheet its great t do.

A lot of glass doesnt sheet though. When you scrub you will see the water sits in globules all over the glass..  its called beading. If it does bead you have to zig-zag side to side all the way down the window. There will still be beads but if youve done it well the beds will have no dirt in them.  Try this..  if your glass beads on one window just rinse along the top and let the water run dow.  Let it dry and SEE SPOTS..  lol  On another do the zig-zag motion ..  Look..  NO SPOTS  (If youve been thorough)

Good luck

cheers bright clean any one else

[m.b.s.]

shurly some one else must have some tips or is it a secret  come on you guys and girls

[brightnclean]

You seem to actually know what you are talking about brightclean, you must have been on a course, that's cheating!

The reason I mention the pre detail is I've had problems/complaints about this. The bigger the seal the more of a problem I find. If you rub the rag ( I use a towel which is also what I use to wipe the sills clean and dry ( the customers like this, they watch you and they like this, use clean towels it looks better) ) anyway if you rub the seal and something like black squid ink comes off it's likely this will run down after you've gone. If you rub and the towels clean happy days.

There are some back posts on this.

Sorry to disappoint u VC but no course done here  

I,ve always said using WFP and getting good results just isnt rocket science at all. I honestly can train anyone with average intelligence to be pretty proficient in a day using WFP.  Note please I dd say "pretty proficient" Now to train someone to be as good trad takes months. No.. this isnt a knock at trad in fact its a compliment coz there is a lot more skill needed to get consistently good results and speed using trad methods which I also use every day as well as WFP.

People can tell you how you should do it , but you will find out with trial and error what is best for you .
If you are going to practice on your own house you can get to see what they look like from the inside after cleaning . If you do plenty of rinsing you wont go far wrong

See what I mean?  lol

Cmon m.b.s  its not a black art. Use your noddle ..  pure water and just do it mate!!

BTW  VC  I like ur tip about the big black seals. U only have to try it on 1st cleans coz then u wil;l know the score.  Cheers mate!!  I will try it out from now on.  

Now Mr m.b.s    stop doin ur head in. Its SIMPLE!!!  Honest.. I promise..  want it in blood?  lol  

Oh eck  nearly forgot..  WHATEVER you do m.b.s remeber this if C>DxF then of course D=F/(m2)  

Good luck again!!  

[m.b.s.]

C>DxF then of course D=F/(m2) whats this  as i am a trad cleaner at the moment wont the rubbers be clean from the aplicator and the wipe round to dry procedure

[d s windowcleaning]

your rubbers will probally have detergents left on when i started mate i didnt no about this forum so it was just a case of going out and gettin on with it and i must say it was the best move i made just take your time mate you will be slow to start with but your speed will come over time its like when you use a ladder on each house 9 times out of 10 when you go back you will probally put your ladder in the same place well when using wfp you will find out where to stand where your hose snag etc just plod on with it mate you learn something diffrent every day

[Neil Williams]

C>DxF then of course D=F/(m2)

Where the Calcium is more than the DiOxides multiplied by the number of Frames, then of course the DiOxides equal the amount of Frames cleanable in metres squared.

Simple eh

not only women comment on the window cleans VG, but of course if you explain it correctly to new customers and explain about how the purified water may draw out residues which may be left when they have dried on the first clean and how if this does happen you would appreciate feedback and if it is a major problem you will revisit, then you can see the problem areas and put right and also make notes for the next clean. Customer service and supply of information along with high standard cleaning, makes for long standing customers.

[Helen]

mbs..... just go for it, clean your own and clean them again and again adjusting your techniques as you need to. A good thing whilst doing your own is to do it wrong and see the bad results first hand. No-one complains and you get to see what can happen with wfp in the wrong hands. You'll soon get the hang of it, even this girlie can use one

[NWH]

VG i wouldn`t bend over for any customer,they pay me to clean there window`s LOL.

[m.b.s.]
