25 litres in 45 minutes?
that's almost 1/2 a litre a minute.  :o
Are you jeff brimble in disguise?

If you're passing it might be worth having a look at the windows again. It is very little water for rinsing on a 1st clean on a job of that time. If they are good it is very well done.
I thought i used little water but i i used approx 35L on a job that took that amount of time last week and that is after a year and a half of cleaning it wfp.
I got through 75L the 1st few cleans.

That's why I posted. I've been cleaning this property for six months Trad, but this is my first clean with WFP. Fortunately, it's a holiday home with no one stying until Christmas, so it was a good property to launch the system on.

But obviously I want to achieve perfect results.

I will go back and check, and turn up my flow for other cleans.

I expect a few bad results at the start, but hopefully with practise, and help from you folks will help me develop my skills sooner rather than later.

I'm being very select at the moment with the property's I use WFP. When my skills and confidence improve, I'll be doing 85% with WFP - then just need to work on the other 15%  ;)

4k is a bit above me at the mhe minute windows,
does a grand sound a fair price? am i right in saying u could use most of the equipment with a van set up afterwards?
why do u have to store it in a tank at home? is it purified in any way there or just while u work
if i wasnt self employed i wouldnt work at all

Don't be put off by any complaints if you get any. It's par for the course in the beginning and if you don't get any. Bonus!
Good luck with it.

Well, I did pop back and check the windows this morning. The majority were actually OK, but a number had run marks from the top frame.

So, today I have increased the flow for the rinse, and the results have looked very good. :)

I could do with an extension to clean the bottom of some windows, with a wide sill

What do you advise?

Also, I'm going to need a longer pole ( 24ft)

What pole and brush do you recommend for a small domestic round?

Thanks
