I'VE JUST BOUGHT AN ESTABLISHED WINDOW CLEANING ROUND, BUT HAVE NEVER CLEANED WINDOWS IN MY LIFE. CAN ANYONE OFFER ANY HELPFUL, PRACTICAL ADVICE ON ALL ASPECTS, FROM LADDERS, AWKWARD WINDOWS, TO KIT REQUIRED AND THE BEST TECHNIQUES TO USE - ANYTHING AT ALL WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL. CHEERS! ::)

Hello welcome to the wonderful world of window cleaning,

Here are some Advice and Setup (info) sites,

www.nfmwgc.com - National Federation of Master Window & General Cleaners (Very Good)

www.iwca.org - International Window Cleaners Assioation (mmm)

www.stopscratchedglass.com - Information & Education to help stop scratched glass (Very Good)

www.window-cleaning-net.com - All About Window Cleaning

www.georgesystems.co.uk - Very Good Window Cleaning Software Free 3 month trial (Try it)-(I am)

Here is my website www.shiningwindows.4t.com
It's Currently Being Updated - come back to see, In a week or two.....
When it is updated take a look at the building site cleaning page, Half way down is a link to the equipment i use...


Open a free Freeservers website (www.freeservers.com) for establishment and get a free email address (just search for free e-mail address) It's professional....

www.express-cleaning-supplies.co.uk - Very cheap on-line cleaning supplies
(I use them all the time - cheapest scrims around)

www.prioritycleaning.co.uk - A local professional company - Take a look at the customers they have on accounts.... Very interesting for your area.... Milton Keynes is all gone (thats too much work for me, anyway)

It is extremely worth advertising by business cards throung the door, print 4 or 6 business cards on a page of paper and use a guillotine to cut them out (very cheap way of producing business card's and enviro mentally friendly)


I wish you all the best and theres lot's of money to be earnt (£15,000 in the first year)....

Keep in contact....

Hi mate!!
bit of good advice is change your squeegie rubber every day as it gives a better quicker clean and saves at least 1 hr a day in time./HOW MANY CLEANS CAN YOU DO IN 1 HR COS THATS HOW MUCH THE CHANGE OF RUBBER BRINGS YOU IN EXTRA. If you get stuck get in touch and I,ll help you I know what its like starting out done it ten yrs now got to the point with hard work I started to employ. Good luck ERIC

If you change the rubber daily it will fit the corner of the window and save scrimming the sides ,no wear on new rubber !!!also dont take the water to the edge if you leave an inch from the edges you won,t get runs or drips so its much quicker.I do 25 3 bed houses a day from 8am to 2pm.Take the water into the edges from the middle of the window.ps I find the best cleaning solution to be stardrops all purpose cleaner,leaves a great shine and no streaks.
