Hi Steve076.
Recreational movements of course, to be done only once work is finished for example.
On the one hand, nothing is ever really useless in life, for example doing nothing at all remains useful in a sense, playing with balancing your broom on the toes of your shoes is an entertaining movement and also calls on your balance.
Here in this specific case of 360°, this contributes, however little it may, to allowing you to better understand the squeegee in the hands, to have a better feeling with it and thus to have more flexible and controlled gestures during execution normal and efficient of the tool.
By analogy, it’s a bit the same principle as a footballer who has fun juggling his ball or a tennis player who twirls his racket or who also juggles the ball.
Neither useful nor useless, requiring coordination of movements.
Secondly, as far as customers are concerned, obviously this allows easier contact in certain situations.
The visual impact is much more impactful when a potential customer who knows nothing about window cleaning sees a professional mastering a tool in a way that would personally seem impossible to them.
We unfortunately live in a society of images, visual impact always takes precedence over the rest.
By analogy for example, as a general rule the graphics in video games take precedence over the story or the requirement for arcade gameplay from the 80’s, the same for comics, cartoons, etc.
In addition, the playful side of the movement allows you to make a connection with passers-by who sometimes stop to look and exchange telephone numbers or other contacts for potential work.
Same with the managers of neighboring shops.
In the same spirit, I have colleagues who make drawings on the windows with soap suds, and sometimes I am even asked to make hearts or other designs so that photos can be taken.
I accept all the time and slip my business card along the way.
I just found some videos that go in this spirit :

All work and no fun is not good for anyone. Here’s a technique developed to take care of that prerequisite. But don’t let that fool you. It’s a perfectly viable technique of doing windows, and you can express your artistic side at the same time.

Cameron Vaxter, the owner of Derby City Window Cleaning, creates logos on windows for his TikTok. He uses a variety of window washers and squeegees to draw designs on his clients’ windows. Each design takes him two to five minutes to perfect.

", I had time to realize that there is no tutorial to help with this movement, certainly completely useless, but remaining all big children at heart it remains fun and exhilarating to perform this movement especially in public in the city center.
