Ive heard that with wfp sytem cleaning the windows stay cleaner longer,is this true?

[martinsadie]

dont know bur it would cock for fortnightlys up 

[wire1078]

Could you imagine what would happen if it did im sure some customers would say to start coming every 6 weeks maybe because they are staying cleaner longer?

[Londoner]

Yep! Its only because the old window cleaners used Fairy and that contains lanolin to keep the housewife's hands soft (hands that do dishes can be soft as your face) and a polishing agent usually described as surfacer which makes the dishes look shiney. Shiney dishes look cleaner in most people's mind.
Both of these leave residues on the glass that is slightly sticky and attracts the dirt. WFP leaves no residues and the glass stays cleaner a lot longer.


You can use it as a selling feature and tell the housewives the naughty little trad window cleaners know what fairy does to the windows. Tut tut.

my work is split 2 and 4 weekly always keep on top of 2 weekly and let the 4 slide behind so customers dont notice they look alright after 3 week and go monthly

I understand the reason behind the claim but for the obvious reasons mentioned I don't sell it that way any more.
In the two years of using WFP, I've not had any extend the time between visits because of them staying clean longer but I have had plenty say that they seem to stay clean longer.

Where I really notice it is with white UPVC frames. I have customers whose frames were filthy on every visit even though I cleaned them every time. Now often the frames still look like I've just dome them when I  turn up.

I've also had many say that though they were more than satisfied with my work prior to WFP the windows appear cleaner since I've been using it. I've also gained a lot of work directly as a result of using it.

When I first started on WFP I got quite worried because a number of my customers started saying "I don't really think they need doing again yet" when I went back. All my customers now are 6 or 8 weeks. Very few at 4 weeks.

[Blue Frog Systems]

Yep, I've got customers who say the windows stay cleaner for longer. Some have changed from 4 to 8 weekly cleans. If they change its an extra £2.

When quoting I give them a 4 and 8 weekly price ( 8 weekly is £2 more than the £4 )

[Blue Frog Systems]

Who mentioned birds fouling windows? That's obvious, thus not mentioned.

Yes I charge more for 8 weekly cleans... Takes a little longer and more water, so what's the problem ?

And I don't use 'stays cleaner for longer' as a selling point and I haven't said I have either. Read my first post again until clicks. If it doesn't... Feel free to email me and ill explain what I said so its simpler for you to understand.

SFWC..........it is in fact very true,whether you like it or not. Just like gg3 keeps the windows cleaner for longer. I've used fairy trad,gg3 trad AND WFP,so i think i can comment on this. Yes,a crap's a crap,but the original thread wasn't about birds backfiring. 

[dave.e]

ok ding ding end off round 1

[martinsadie]

whens round two starting then 

[dave.e]

whens round two starting then 

Hi stan won;t be long

[Blue Frog Systems]

Its that obvious that no one need mention it. People know bird poo is bird poo and what a mess it makes. What this thread is about is the difference between trad and wfp

[stephen s]

glass defo stays cleaner for longer with WFP  and yes I have had customers who have gone from 4 weeks to 8 weeks because of this very reason,  they actually told me they noticed this as I sure didn't mention it to them.



thats where WFP is a victim of its own success
