Hello all!
I know there will be different types of windows and glass. And I know since I've been doing this 4-5 months and grown a customer base of 160+ a month people may shoot me down for asking. But on some windows I can get a really good waterfall effect while rinsing and these seem to dry spotless. However some just seem to instantly separate the water and leave lots of little water drops on the window once cleaned and the 3 call backs I've had have all been these types of window. I feel like I can't rinse them anymore and I obviously can't hang about to see how they dry but just wondering if there is another technique I should be using on this type?
I had a big job on today, guttering, facias windows, conservatory roof and all conservatory and it looked great when I left. And she was very pleased however when dried there were two windows that had mucky drip marks down them. I thought I had gave everything enough a rinse. All I can presume is that it's very windy here today and any mucky water from gutter or facias that's dropped when I want has blown onto the windows. I obviously work my way. Down and did the facias and guttering and let them dry as much as I could first before working on the windows.
Just basically wondering if there is a different technique to use on different window types or if anyone else gets the same?
I went straight back and cleaned them again and she now says they look fine, but all my 3 call backs have been them type of windows ?
Just to add the windows and frames were really bad and look like they hadn't been cleaned in years and thought there's no way in a million years she would have any complaints as everything was spotless and bright white....
