If i remember rightly, if using pole, its best not to clean the edges, even still, leave a small gap on the top part of the window, as to not get water from squeege(soap) there when pulling down squeegee, whereas if you did that by hand it leaves a bit of water on the top or around edges, and you would scrim it off so if you know what I mean hard to explain...wheres ladder when you need him!

Thats how I work all the time. I leave a very small gap round the edges and top. Theres no excess soap left on the frames and if you have a dog-eared blade you wont need to scrim.

Posh, I have used the unger pole with a unger squeegee(S Type) so not wagtaill, I learnt how to clean a window with a pole.

Not as good result as just using a squeegee by hand.i

I've tried with the vice versa and get lines down the middle of the middle of the window or at the top of the window.

I do that but then when I go to do second stroke it leaves water at the top of the window

Im not sure I understand. Have you tried starting horizontally at the top, while fanning?

 

[Gmeister]

When your pulling horizontally, you have your squeegee at a degree, not sure what o degree it works out at anyone know?

Like a / but squeegee say 8 and 2 on a clock face sort of angle....rather then straight pulls.

you can see the correct method being used in the vid I posted earlier in this thread if it helps on page 10

 

[Smurf]

This is a better vid to see how it is done, takes a lot of skill to get good results /emoticons/wink.png

 

[Posh]

Pretty good. Will give it another go. Thanks for that. I just pulled straight down. Maybe that's where I was going wrong.

if your having problem with spotting i would surjest that

tradional.

clean the top with the apllicator then wipe of with a scrim on the blade or tbar what ever takes your fancy i make shore the applictor is soked.

once wipe the top of with a scrim with the tbar.

then with the applicator do clean the hole window but only up to the frame do not touch the frame then once you have done that squeegey it of wipe bottom of frame down bobs your uncul.

water fed pole

i scrub all frame and part window once dried repeat on window not frame on low pump setting.

i would wet your brush on the window turn the water off proceed with the rest of the top window do not touch the top frame.

turn water back on do the rest of the glass then slight rinse at the top and get Hevey on the way down.

thats my way and i only have to wash the window once and the frame once total time 20 min to do a three bedroom house

just say have to use this from now on, for H and S reasons, adders aint banned, but law states that i have to use the safetest method (ie wfp) if i have a fall they come out and look at it, if they say i should/could of used wfp then i get done and you get done for allowing a unsafe work enviroment same principly applies to smoking when someone is working in your house, it becomes there work enviroment and all sorts of stupid laws apply

if they still main about ladders, point out sky thye have to drill in to the walls to hold the ladders up, or fit it at standing height,

complete mis-interpretation of the legislation, in particular ....
'but law states that i have to use the safetest method (ie wfp) if i have a fall they come out and look at it, if they say i should/could of used wfp then i get done and you get done for allowing a unsafe work enviroment'

this is completely untrue, and you shouldnt be telling your customers it is, im so, so, so tired of hearing people spout this ****, **** they have seen someone else post after mis-interpreting the law and took it as fact, and then try and tel people that that is what will happen
