What Is Traditional Window Cleaning?

[David Taylor]

Every one says Squeegee etc.. But surely cloths were before this so is that not the trad method?

Will one day water fed pole become trad? (I hope so!)

internals can be cleaned with pure water mister and micro pads.

Not really, i use "trad" for shops inside centres. It was a legit question about what peoples thoughts are.. I would not promote one method over the other.Traditional is such a general term. Maybe it should be called some thing else.

I hear the term "ladder work" along with "Trad Cleaning" but I know what you mean...

you asked, I gave my answer, go some where else if you want to argue mate.

he wasnt arguing, he was giving his opinion, and i second his opinion, anyone that uses mf pads/internal cleaning kits are laughable, you want to be a window cleaner but cant learn how to use the standard tools for the job, internal kits are for hard to reach windows, not every window, as ady said, pick up a blade and practise for a few days, i know people will disagree with this next bit......
IF YOU CANT USE A MOP AND BLADE YOUR NOT A REAL WINDOW CLEANER!!!!!!

there, i said it, and what!?
