Just got my WFP today. Thanks for the tips Lee :)
Wish I had your knowledge Steven! Well done.
One of the best WFP explanation videos ive seen. I fwd this to alot of cleaners getn started. Great job Steven
with trad WC suppliers and WC'rs stressing out with more money for so called improved squeegees so that the can INCREASE their speed this is up-side-down.
a man with sense at last , thank you steve
I also have a lot of new customers that say the same there is a lot of window cleaners giving the pole a bad name before working for my self I worked for two companies that used the pole system and both used the same method
Thinking of buying a pole fed system as a second business.I will need practice to start with.This makes sense and nicely explained.
better find a used system on the internet for sale.
Hi Steven, I totally agree with you. Im up in kildare and have been doing wfp about 2 years now and just got a brand new system from Xline Systems in the uk. I clean in stages to but it's a real pain (no pun intended lol) in the ass when you are cleaning at 45ft like i was last week don't mind 2 story but at 45ft it's hard work
Evening Stephen, heading to Sure clean tomorrow to pick up the new system, thanks for all the help through your videos, enjoy your content and it helps people like me who is moving into the WFP from traditional...
roadrunner. rossi well done man. Let them know I sent you and they might add in a free bee 😊
You won’t regret the transfer to wfp. It takes some getting used to but I’d never go back 👍🏻
@@stevenlee4437 I sure will, be thinking of the WFP for a while now and well i came off the ladders last week so that sealed it for me. Health is more important than climbing ladders, as long as the windows are cleaned & the customers are happy then it its a win win situation. Currently thinking of the WFP for top windows only, whats your thoughts?
roadrunner. rossi that’s a good start. Here I’ll do a video for you later and upload it- just about changing over to wfp
@@stevenlee4437 gentleman, thanks very much. Look forward to it..
Yep have one, have to be careful though with toughened glass these days
if the windows a cleaned on a 4 week basis that "hidden dirt" should not be there . This is a really great method but I only apply it on my first cleans
Thumbs up
Or you can just wash the top frame and give it a good rinse, wash the glass, rinse, wash the bottom frame, rinse it, wash the bottom glass, rinse and all done. No need to walk back and forth all the time
This process is fine and dandy when you are eye level with the window, but what about 30+ feet and cutouts or french panes. I have had mine now for about half a year and french panes at 30+ feet are tough to come out perfect (rinsing is the problem for me) do you have any video doing a high rinse?
iv bin using the water fed pole for 9 years now cleaning a lot of commercial work in manchester if my lads cleaned windows like that they would be fired on the spot first of all your brush head is at the wrong angle and secondly it must take you ages to get your job done and last but not least if you clean the top frame and work your way down making sure that it's all clean then rinse all frame and glass together there won't be any issues
Hey mike. I actually dont use that angle when cleaning either. It'd be impossible!
My whole website mike is how to water fed pole perfect. I'm showing a way to leave a perfect finish. In another video I've mentioned that a 1000 percent perfect job isnt always needed. I understand what you are saying about cleaning the top frame really well and then there'll be no problems, but there are always other factors such as vents, leaking rubbers, and frames with lots of hidden dirt, wooden frames etc.
So cleaning glass piece by glass piece is the only way to ensure you dont get Dirty draining spotting. Do you have any videos on your methodology?
I used this today in a customers home and it came out very well indeed. Thank you. But I came home and tried it on my windows which have those small little vents that pop out the top of window and streams of water dripped down from them, do you just wait a little longer to get the perfect result or what do you do?
Exactly right, as we use pure water it dries away leaving no marks behind 👍
Steven Lee Hey buddy. Thanks for the great videos. I saw a video with you cleaning a school. Can you tell me how you got the school jobs? Did you speak to the superintendent? Comment below or send me an email. Cody@pacificwindows.ca. Thanks!
thanks! I will try this because on my last job I found beads & had to redo them again XD
The beads are down to your pure water (make double sure you've low tds) picking up dirt somewhere, probably on the frame or seal. It could even be a wearing dirty seal. With this method though I get perfect results. Even if it does mean a bit "to-ing an fro-ing". 👍
Hi Steve, I'm new in this. With the wfp you just rinse off the pane and the job is done? Like no need to dry off? Thanks
I agree with Steven on this job definitely, the middle upvc bar can mark glass as can top of window.
On more normal upvc windows
1st clean do all frames on all windows then return to start point and do glass
But this job here is a pig 😆
I must admit maintenance jobs do whole window and glass together
I’ve been wfp 17 yrs
I do get some spots occasionally
Im my worst critic
I clean windows and rarely check now
Average 0-1 callback a year
Use ubiks 50-50 mix in trigger spray bottle
Spray on brush and good scrub 1 st clean 👍
I just recently purchased and received my WFP & DI System. How do you go about cleaning windows that has hard water stains? It seems to me that the bristles on the WFP are too soft to do any kind of scrubbing. 0:52
I agree with you 100%
Hey steven, can you please drop the link from where to buy this?
I think if your water is at zero tds and you clean the frame properly you can't go wrong 👍
ye I do regular spot checks on my lads work and never find faults due to method I have family in kilkenny who is a window cleaner also
There is bad methodology out there though because we all hear of customers getting bad results. (I've heard of lots of complaints of spotting etc) great all your lads are so good!
hy Steven,what made is that pole? thank you
Gardiner CLX?
What's the name of that pole
vents are an issue but the only time you should clean a window in stages is when your only doing the glass and not the frame it don't matter if you clean in stages or as 1 unit if you leave dirt then.its gonna drip dirty regardless of you method your just costing your self more time I get a standard 3 bed semi detached house done in about 6 minutes to be exact where in ireland are you based
Based in longford mike 👍
There can still be issues when you have rows of glass with multiple opening window frames. Zero TDS water is hungry and looking for the tiniest of dirt spec. Like you I'm all about the most efficient way of work. Whether thats in the way the van is organised or the way to walk the hose. It might take me 15% longer doing glass in stages. (For those 100% jobs), simply because frame close lines are an area you cant fully get in and clean and in my experience can cause spotting. We all have our ways 👍
Well explained and very good advice this is how I clean on more problematic windows
Good advice Steven, only way to do it. Not sure about that hat your wearing though!
JD ah here the hat is a class act 😲😛
i find with wfp it does a good job but it doesnt completely remove bug dropings any suggestions
Get a scraper for your brush
+Matt M
You may need to give the area an extra scrub, or what i've done is changed to a slightly stiffer brush on a really badly effected window.
I use the Gardiner super lite brushes, and keep the stiff bristle brush in the van for those really bad jobs.
Hope that helps! I'll do a video answering that question!
+Steven Lee Gatdiner super scraper is what you need 👍🏼
How long have you bin using the system
2 years off 100% wfp now mike 👍 an amazing tool!
I think the advice given is a little bit wrong to do the perfect job you normally clean all the frames of one window then go onto the next window then come back and do the glass and seals I never get any smears at all on my windows. You don't just clean the top half of one window then go to the next then come back to it when it dries you're giving yourself a lot more work it needs to be done in stages and needs to be organised this seems a bit time consuming. but maybe this would help out certain people.. MAYBE..
m8 how does that work when you're doing 5 or 6 story jobs.... it won't, so great tip for ground floor only
I've used WFP 5 stories up... same concept works fine
Good tips, but you seem to have your pole clamped the wrong way round?
Hi thanks for the Q. I'm constantly twisting the pole- my trigger is deliberately lose so that I can slide it around as needed. But normally the clamps are the other way around. This was for demo purposes only. Which system do you have?
I have a DIY setup mate. 500 litre flat tank and use SLX poles. Have you ever heard of the window cleaning forum windowcleaningforums? Join it if you haven't already, there's a lot of top tips and top posters on it.
Here's the link windowcleaningforums.co.uk
+Steve Chance yep wcf is very good
i live on there
Yaaaaassss
I know you Davey ;-)
What you meant to do mate wash all your frames all your sails underneath the sails wash all your clothes all your frames and running it down and rinse it done job done next one You'll be there all day pal
I ain't got time for that I have to make a living
How about you show us how to use the system rather than tell us how awesome it is and mimic your moves. seems like an advertisement to me. How much set up time? What about paint or stain on window? If i had this system do i need a hose or my own water container?
Sean Marroquin have you ever had a go with a system. I think if you had then the video might make a bit more sense. We have a podcast- the window cleaning podcast- where we talk a lot more about it. All of us wfp users are completely sold at how great the system is 👍🏻
Still doesn't answer set up time, take down time, paint and stain on windows. Do you need to use the customers hose or do u need a water storage container? You don't show technique or methods. Still just talking about how good it is. Make a video with the actual cleaning process. i have not used a system like this, hence the reason i wanna see it in action not just hear how good it is.
Sean Marroquin
he's giving help/advice to guys who already use the system...not a beginners video of how water fed works. May look elsewhere for that.
Cody Grant show some respect he has plenty if videos dont get on here giving out about information thats free
What's he advertising haha, he doesn't even show you anything apart from the brush? His words tell you exactly how to do it, it's not hard
the real window cleaning pro knows when or when not to use waterfed. inspect the window first. if it's real bad you have to do it by hand if it's a regular maintenance job then go for it. then inspect later . some windows turn out absolutely perfect. sometimes they don't.
I can't agree with you there John. Perfect clean everytime with the WFP even on real dirty windows. Infact it's far better on really dirty windows as the frames come up all the better...
But if you have scrape paint and stain and hand Polish with steel wool to get the windows 100% that's what you have to do. Trust me I try to use waterfed as much as I can. My customers expect zero specs and spots not just a Shiney window
John Morton i hooe your charging for that extra time doing all that scraping your running a business not a charity you dont expect to get an extra portion of chips from a restaurant just because your still hungry
Salad fingers
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
