Obsessive, compulsive rinsing
« on: April 23, 2010, 02:54:03 pm »
packed up after a job today and had to get it all back out as water had got into a vent and run dirty water over a pane  :-\. The pressure through the pencil jets sprays up and out when I rinse so I spent more time rinsing and more rinsing. Extra tricky when on 2nd storey. My question is are any of you based in the Northants, Beds (sort of) area that is prepared to let me watch them wfping, established pro's if poss. to give me an idea of how long I should be taking. I'm off out now to finish off. Hopefully hear from someone later.

Thanks

Tom

ps I know about the Ionics roadshows, I'd just like to see wfping in the field type thing

Tom, rinsing is something that's done quickly, pretty much as fast as you can zig zag your brush down the glass.

Here, look at this link; it shows Peter's clampless pole but Peter's got the right idea with regards speed.

if that is giving it a good enough rinse then I'm the same as OP as I scrub like crazy and rinse much more than that, but I've only been using wfp for a couple of days and I need to get confident of what is enough to get good results.

Sorry Tosh, but watching Peter Fogwill is not the best way to learn how to clean a window!!!

Lying the brush on the ground is not what I would want to post up as an example of how to do things!

Not bad, but being lazy, I'd've swapped to a shorter pole for the ground floor (my brush head just slides off the longer pole and straight onto a short one) to make the work even easier.
