Yes i did rinse the upstairs windows i tilt the brush slightly to rinse on the upstairs windows.

[andyatkinson]

wow , im well impressed and it gives me hope and comfort at the beginning of my 2nd month wfp! that it shouldnt be too long before we can work like that and not need to do 30,000,000 years worth of rinsing and frame scrubbing!

[pjulk]

The speed come's with experiance.

These windows are done regular so a 1st time clean would take a bit longer.

I personally would probably do that on 4 weekly cleans at the most, I like to go over them once more on 6 and 8 weekly, and spend a bit more on rinsing, zig zagging down the window fast if they are hydophillic, and slower side to side motion when hydrophobic.

[pjulk]

That is a 2 monthly clean.

I find the time between monthly or 2 monthly is really nothing and i use my flow on max with minibore hose.

Nice to see you cleaning those frames and sills properly -
that really is the key to it.

Can someone explain this please?
zig zagging?
hydo and hydro?
thanks

Very similar to mine when I'm feeling organised and keen to move along at a brisk pace. Except I would run my brush along the whole (above all 4 panes in one go) top frame first then go back to the first pane and do what you did - a little more time for the dripping to stop (IMO) onto the pane from the top frame (but that might just be my paranoia!)

About the same as me for scrubbing on regular cleans. Rinsing as quickly as that would give me troubles though, as it is not long enough to flush salt/residue off the window properly.

[ronnie paton]

is it that rinsing brush on or off  its fast.

I have tried high flow rinsing on for speed but the windows just dont dry right???

Your right there do them properly every time and the job is so much easier.

I never get problems with these one's rinsing that quick.

I have others i have to take a bit longer with the rinsing but generally most of mine are done like this and i don't get any problems.

If they bead i spend a bit longer as i'm never really sure about the one's that bead

Maybe because im using a high flow it does help with the rinsing.

i thought you polers clean the frames aswell?

just looks like a splash and dash clean i wouldnt be impressed if i was paying to have that done

You don't necessarily have to.

Splash and dash, perhaps. my usual speed is normal, and the customers don't have a problem with it, I'm in behind in my schedual, I go full pelt, if the customers are in, I might slow down a bit, or knock when all the gear is away, that way you have a bit more time.

But then again, they said I was fast when I was traditional as well. You are just leaving the ladder out, that's where the biggest time difference is I find.

2min 36 sec fora front of house........so once i get going does an average of £25 to £30 per hour seem feasible then 

[john k]

did you rinse the top windows coz i must of mist that bit!

[Bobs Window Cleaning]

Looks terrible. Not rinsing properly.

[landy2]

them windows were not rinsed proper asking for trouble my customers would not have that there is fast and doing it proper
