i work on 30 minutes for a first clean on a standard house and that is about right. when i first started some of my houses took 45 minutes but now do them in probbly 15 to 20 . the speed just comes naturally and you get to know how much rinsing is enough etc.

surely giving the frames an extra going over would make it take longer?

still not sure which way to do the first cleans - all frames then glass after? or just frame n glass each window?

if ur doin a propper job on ur 1st cleans ie frames & extra rince etc it will take longer.
but as u will have done all the hard work on the 1st ur speed will start getting there on the 2nd.
yhats how ive found it ;)

On really bad ones, where possible I connect to customers outside tap (with their permission) and get the main grime off with a really good flow.  I then follow round and do a normal Pure Water clean.

I work this way due to limited water carrying capacity in my vehicle - and of course it saves me the cost of producing extra pure water.

it does take longer, but all depends on the house,   just pay more attention to the window and make sure it is clean, give it a few scrubs,  u can tall just by looking at it normally,  and give it a good wash down,  i try to check when i have finished that they are ok

i expalin that it might get spotty, but they will go after 2 washes,   the majority of people live in the real world and know that if they havent had the windows cleaned in 5 years  they might not sparlkle after 1 wash,,
