No matter what the activity there’s a “Best Of” competition somewhere in the world.
In this case the activity is ‘window cleaning’ and the competition takes place annually in London.
The rules of the World Window Cleaning World Cup are fairly straightforward or clear if you will.
Participants are provided with a standard 12” or 300 mm Squeegee with fixed handle, standard 14” or 350 mm applicator (T.Bar) with a fixed handle, a standard 14” Applicator cover, a bucket of water, window cleaning detergent, and one scrim. They have to use these tools to clean three 45” x 45” windows as quickly and as thoroughly as possible.
Is accuracy or speed more important in the WWCWC? the answer is ‘both’.
Speed is very important in this competition, but participants must actually clean the windows to win. Every streak, drip, or line on the three windows is penalized by 0.5 seconds, and leaving particularly thick streaks on the glass is penalized by 1 second.
The three judges are trained to watch for even the slightest imperfections, so every little mistake is penalized.
The winner of the World Window Cleaning World Cup is rewarded with a £1,000 ($1,350) cash prize, and of course bragging rights as the World’s BEST Window Cleaner.
