Window Washer 6.0 Online Manual

Scheduling Automatic Washes

You can schedule automatic washes based on a specific event, such as when all browsers are closed, or based on a specific time interval. To use the automatic wash settings, Window Washer must be open. You know Window Washer is open if you see the icon in the system tray in the lower-right corner of your screen.

If Window Washer is not open, you must start it for the wash to run automatically. For more information about starting Window Washer, see Starting Window Washer. For more information about exiting Window Washer but leaving it open, see Shutting Down Window Washer.

Automatic washes use all of the wash settings and options at the time the wash starts.

Start Window Washer, if it is not already open, and display the Window Washer window.
