This year’s Windex saw the return of
the Window Cleaning Competition, staged by the world’s fastest window
cleaners – Terry ‘Turbo’ Burrows – at the Federation of Window
Cleaners. Burrows used the occasion to try to beat his own world record
and to stage competitions for both professionals and amateurs. The new
competition for exhibitors was particularly enjoyable!
The
winner of the main competition was Glyn Baily of Hazel Window Cleaners
who cleaned and dried the three regulation sized window panes and
frames in an impressive 13.09 seconds. Second place went to Andrew
Walton who completed the task in 17.96 seconds.
The exhibitor’s
competition uncovered some real talent as well. The winner was Steve
Fox from Window Cleaning Warehouse who cleaned the three panes in
16.56 seconds – which would have placed him second in the main
competition! In second place was Mark Henderson from Window Cleaning
Resources who completed the task in 18.49 seconds, and third was
Russell Oxley from Facelift Cleaning Systems who took 20.97 seconds.
