This is the bit I have a problem with, the belief or should I say 'assumption', that you can't clean windows above a sloping roof trad. You see this claim all over wfp websites. Trad, doesn't automatically mean 'with ladders', it means 'with squeegee'. Well actually, I think trad should actually mean 'with chamois' because up until 25 years ago, most WC's still used this method and I actually see this as traditional window cleaning myself, windows were cleaned this way for a lot longer than they have been with a squeegee. I tend to think this label was actually invented by wfp users as a way of trying to out date the squeegee.Last month for example, the daughter of a customer of mine saw her mothers windows i did using wfp, she wanted hers done with wfp, so she ended up dropping her Trad window cleaner and i ended up getting 5 of her neighbours too all of which used to have a Trad window cleaner. The fact you can reach windows on sloping roof and above conservatory roofs etc makes all the difference!
Absolutely Smurf, it's a great tool I'll admit to that. But I think it should be viewed as just that, another tool, rather than a replacement for the traditional window cleaner which, appears to be the general surmise in the window cleaning world. A window cleaner has many tools at his disposal to clean windows of all shape and sizes but, it's wrong to suggest that some windows can't be cleaned using traditional methods which is the point I was trying to make.But after saying that Mart speaking from experience I must admit a wet broom in the right hands can be a very good tool to use too.
I have a front only house with leaded windows(diamond shaped), one being over a sloping roof. I always cloth leaded windows, it's the best way to do um in my opinion as the buffing action makes the lead shine too. Leaded windows aren't as bad as people think, they take a little more time which you cover in the price but, they always seem to look shinny when you drive past reguardless of how clean they are.Is there a way of cleaning leadeds/Georgian windows at hight or over lids trad from the deck? Serious question, I've no axe to grind against any w/c methods, I'm just curious as I'm not aware of any.
