THE daughter of the world's fastest window cleaner has followed in her dad's footsteps by breaking the same record for women.

Terry 'Turbo' Burrows, 68, has held the Guinness World Record for the fastest window cleaner since 1995 and beat his own time nine times.

The dad-of-two from Colchester first broke the world record in 1995 when he appeared on BBC's Record Breakers.

Now, his daughter Aliscia, 33, has wiped out all competition in the female category by cleaning 6,000 square inches of glass in just 16.13 seconds.

She said: "I've always seen dad on the telly, I used to think it was quite cool because he got to meet loads of celebrities.

"I thought it would be quite nice to have a matching record with my dad.

"I think because I have grown up watching my dad do it, I've just naturally taken his technique and maybe that's why I am a little bit quicker than others.

"I was really pleased when I broke it because I knew my dad would want me to do it as well.”

Aliscia and Terry attended the Manchester Cleaning Show on March 13, where she broke the previous record by just 0.15 seconds.

Proud dad Terry, who cleans three windows in just 9.14 seconds, faster than Usain Bolt ran 100m, said he never dreamt Aliscia would have a matching world record with him.

"I felt absolutely elated,” he said.

“I just thought wow because she had done it.

"Next time we go to the Manchester Cleaning Show, she will be able to go with confidence because she's done it.

"I was absolutely over the moon, I thought I was going to burst into tears.

"Nobody sees all of the training which goes on behind it so it was much later on in life when I thought about if Aliscia would ever do it.

"I had to talk her into it a little bit because it wasn't her job, and it wasn't her thing.

"It was a little dream of mine though - I thought 'how cool would it be for a father and daughter to hold the same records?'

"That truly is history being made - it's a very special thing."
