Wfp V Traditional Cleaning

If done properly then I think they do as there is no soap residue left behind, after taken over house from some trad guys there always seems to be soap bubbles on some of the windows.

 
No! depends on what solution you are using trad' date=' that will deter how long windows stay clean![/quote']Putting any solution on will leave a film over the window,leaving it with a better grip for any dirt or dust to settle onto.
 
Even if pure water makes the windows stay cleaner for longer (not sure how true this is, but will go with the flow of the question)

I just hope you don't tell them this (to get a sale (to make it look better then trad clean)) cause then customers will be like, if thats true then we will have them cleaned less often like 8 weekly or 12 weekly....lol

I've told customers this and they still have every 4weeks, even says it on my website lol
 
Did a mates house that I can try different cleans on hadn't been cleaned for over two years took some scrubbing to get the algae off the frames garage doors and some stubborn marks from bay windows all done via cold pure water via wfp using trolley system no chemicals full novice at water fed and home built trolley this as had deep clean all pure water even experiments carried out with aldi microfibre floor mop used on internal window took forever as has good range of upvc around property even included half of neighbours cony which hasn't been cleaned glass or upvc for over five years front of house still looks great with some small spots on glass developing 5 weeks later the rear defo worse but is affected by wood burning stove in rear facing property garden also cleaned my own pure water deep clean as been cleaned regular every month previously trad by other cleaner different style of house this is terraced straight after wfp cleaned all downstairs window trad with unger soap seems to suck the dirt to the windows downstairs within a fortnight not the perfect experiment as not same areas sheltered windows obviously fair better my own house being in non smokeless area not a perfect experiment but seems putting soap back on the window takes more cleans to get right or could be technique the wfp didn't remove the deposits on my own windows around the lead on glass where the years of soap wipe have built up the leading is on surface of glass and raised and with the years of cloth wiping by previous cleaner a grey shadow line as developed visible from the insides not quite the answer your lookin for bubbles but on going experiment to see how it develops

The reason for the experiment just want convincing over wfp defo look cleaner in sunlight situ and the glass is visibly cleaner but those tough cleans pure water could do with a helping hang to make it cost effective

 
Forgot to mention wfp reading 000 brodex brushes and poles own house run via van system rather than trolley system and the helping hand comment refers to use of viro sol or citrus or similar to speed up clean up process to make it cost effective on the deep cleans as both houses frames have never been touched

 
Hi bubbles only 40 miles down road from Leeds ppm from tap not that bad here about 059 on good days seems to get spotty at about 014+ on windows I've played with and terrible after 20+ so not using ro have played with leaving tap water to stand for a day or two gets cloudy quick don't know what's in the water round here but starts good and deteriates quick when I say terrible I mean spotting windows tend to be leaded as well so could be picking up more impurities from that would keep below 10 round here presume it can differ in places as people have give me different levels as guide or could be technique still playing around with wfp

 
Yes from my personal experience 000 ppm does work better but some might disagree. :rolleyes:

Using hot/warm 000 ppm pure works better than using cold pure too /emoticons/wink.png

So would u say cleaning at 000 makes any difference if the ppp is 008 or 010 on a first clean?
 
Personal thoughts only based on what I've played about with not as experienced as most on here seems to be affected by environment more than anything else a window seems to dry better the higher up a house you go especially on terraced houses with enclosed back yards almost the more wind the faster they dry with better results the lower windows attract more dirt on some terraces due to dust ,insects,coal burning, condenser boiler fumes rain direction the. Way water runs from stone above windows getting pretty sad at looking at windows these days then there's method of clean I'm sure a great trad cleaner can get better results than some wfp operator or vice a versa even the way the glass washes ,vents dripping etc

Definitely interested in the warm water can see the advantages immediately when her indoors lets me wash up after tea lol

 
Also depends the location of the house, near busy roads etc, some windows will get dirty really quick, some houses I return after 4 weeks and they still look clean!

So my answer will be a wee bit lol

I agree, that's why I always change resin when water hit 001-002ppm and still using my hot water system in this weather,

 
I can only speak for myself, and I have only used the wfp for cleaning domestic customers, but I have had many of them say to me that there windows stay cleaner longer with this method of cleaning. So I cannot say if it's a 100% true statement. Other windys near me they have had the same remark too... so is it true?
