When i'm cleaning I often find myself walking round the house twice. I clean the upstairs windows first, then work back around the house working on windows that don't have any others above them and then one last time round the ground floor on the remaining windows. I've always done it this way because I was taught that you need to wait for the upstairs windows to stop dripping water down before you start on the downstairs ones.
This made perfect sense because the water coming down is dirty. Recently i've been watching some YouTube vids and caught a couple of other windies in action. No one seems to stress about drip down the way I have been. This week i've tried something different, I started to clean a few other windows on a side, wipe the sill and crack on downstairs the same side. I've tried this on a few properties and as far as I can see the drips coming from above don't touch the downstairs windows as long as you wipe away the excess water. The only exception has been ones with stone sills, too much dirt on them to risk it.
Just wondering what other people do? Anyone got any advice?
