Super thorough explanation, Mark! Appreciate it. I've seen the vast majority of other window cleaners who've tried wfp give up claiming it doesn't really work. They think it's a magic wand. It's still hard work and takes just a little bit of brains.

This video makes a lot of sense, thank you for your patience and expertise my friend.

Great explanation! I didn’t know the milky residue is caused my oxidation on the window frames, been trying to work that one out for a bit haha. Talking from experience I would only add one thing. If you rinse the frames, then angle the stream into the corners of the glass, then do the face of the glass (all top down of course) it does a great job of mitigating everything you’ve talked about.

Brilliant video I've encountered all of the problems you've mentioned and have been able with time and experience to work it out like you've explained, if I was staring out I'd be the happiest man alive getting this video to watch😂
Was great to be reassured by everything you've mention just a great video 👍

Thank you i did my first wfp job today. And i do have alot to learn. Soon I will be able to buy the expensive pole and boars brush for my business

For a first clean I had that milky residue that you mentioned at the end of the video. Thought it was something that i may have used, but now apprears not. I always give my first cleans an extra rinse when i've finished each side, but looks like i may have to repeat it for that job.

Lovely video for new ones. Never scrub the bottom frame before doing the glass, there is always more dirt on the bottom, so you are just transferring the dirt back on top of the glass. First top frame, sides, glass, bottom, sill. Rinse, and sweep the sill off . Done.

It’s also has to do with the elements .. if it’s windy day the dust that in the air will attach to the clean drips on the class.. also if there isn’t good sun, shaded area tend to last longer to dry there for you will get more spots left over. City areas where there is alot of traffic it’s really difficult to get good result dude to pollution.

Number 4. This really made me think, beacause the waterfed pole kept leaving "watermarks" so i figured the "pure" water wasnt pure enough even going through filters. But this might be it. I will always prefer a skylift tho

Good thorough explanation, but from my experience it's not that easy. My area the majority of homes are extremely hydrophobic. you can scrub and rinse all day long and you still get spotting. You see all these wfp videos, where the windows are nice hydrphillic glass, sheeting water beautifully and they turn out great, but that just isn't how it goes most time for me in the field. TDS at zero, booster pump at 90-100psi, tons of flow with rinse bar angled so water is spraying past the bristles, and still alot of times there's spotting. All these ytubers say 'oh it's the technique, not rinsing enough, ' I disagree, alot of times it's the glass. With Hydrophobic glass, water droplets cling too long before they dry, that's what causes the spotting. There's alot more science to it than people realize or care to learn. You never hear about any of these problems before you spend 5 grand on a pure water setup. Just sayin

If you work on full flow like I do and scrub twice there is no need to rinse as you have rinsed while cleaning
Works for me here in the uk as my work is done 6 weekly

How can you show how to clean a window with a clean window as example ?

[vvvmttvvv]

I've always wanted to know why cleaning once per year is so common in America. I clean 4-weekly in the UK and the windows are dirty when I start. I would imagine that customers are only getting a few weeks tops to enjoy clean windows. After that, wouldn't they be dirty for months? Kinda seems so brief. I would wonder if it's worth doing at all if they're not regularly maintained. Can someone explain?

[Luke-ogbq]

I wfp window cleaned for 5 years and NEVER got spoting, ever! If the frames have deteriorated, it won't matter how much you scrub them you will get spotting.
Ready for this people.... you must DAB the frames! If one tiny drop of water goes from the fame to the pane, its game over. Redo it. Scrub the frames so they look clean, dab so nothing is dripping, then rinse the windows with a very low flow so the pane gets rinsed only. If any rinse water so much a touches the frame then redo it.

Dead powdery paint from the sash getting on the glass is a pain.

[artjuarez]

How would you take care of a 4th floor window from the ground level ?

[popiaustin]

I have a question? My pole leaves streaks on the sides and tops of the windows, near the frames. But the bottom and the whole middle windows are good. Anybody know how to fix that? Do I need to spend more time scrubbing it or watering it down when I’m done?

Never knew there was so much work in water fed pole work.
