rinsing

[CHWS]

I'm interested in how many people rinse on the glass and what technique they use

 

[steve garwood]

I assumed everyone rinsed. Just the usual side to side motion for me

 

[mark]

do you mean rinsing with brush touching the glass?as apposed to rinsing off the glass?

Watch the video at 37.45

That how I rinse the windows... To stop the water dripping down the windows which can cause spotting

Side to side motion Like garwood Said ! If an wfp operator dont rinse he is doomed ! Lot of good vids on the tube !

 

[adamangler]

he means rinsing on the glass as opposed to rinsing off the glass

not tried it myself, dont trust it to work properly

 

[CHWS]

Yes I mean rinsing on the glass, just as I seen a guy sing wfp and he just made a waterfall from side to side at the top only

Has anyone got any tips on rinsing on the glass as I have a few that's a killer on my back over extensions?

Do I need a special brush?

we rince while having brush on the glass but only when above 40ft , high flow rate a must and try a get use to getting the jets rinceing at the very top of the glass , we run the bigger 125psi pumps for this and run them flat out when at 50/60ft plus as it needs that little extra kick

speak to gardners about brushes they will keep you right

Un flocked are best for rinsing on the glass as any dirt can escape through the bristles although i do it with a flocked also

A trick i recently learnt is to twist the pole so most of the brush is off the glass except 1 end when doing awkward ones above roofs etc as you have a good rinse and more stability

I find using a polyester brush better for rinsing on the glass . If the window is cleanish , it's easy , mind I just keep the brush on for a third of the way down , then lift it off .

 

[CHWS]

So there doesn't seem to be a great lot that do it this way lol

 

[peter rogers]

theres a company who sell rinse bars which are handy for cleaning high windows so u keep brush on the windows and bring down slowly as the water comes ot over the brush

to stop spotting u have to get close to the window with the brush the futher away the brush is bigger chance of spootting

Only thing I hate about work is rinsing.

You don't always need to rinse
