i agree  trad is a skill, any idiot can wave a pole  lol

[CLEANCARE WC]

i use the magic magnet my customers seem to like it.

[Jackal]

nahhhhh,just a wet rag an a dry rag will do

[colin purewater]

I took a lad on the other day
He was an idiot and could use a pole

Bye bye boy from the village  (rolley eyes)

[Lee GLS]

I've got self cleaning glass so I don't need either 

[windiewasher]

spit n rag works for me,not good when you have a cold though!

[Steve_c]

Your all wrong, i found blue paper and vinegar

[Londoner]

Nah , newspaper is better.

You ought to go back over some of the oldest posts and look at what was said.

Customers will never ever pay to have some idiot clean their windows with a bog brush on a broom handle.

ive been part wfp since feb and i have to say trade is better  finnish and wfp is a bit crap makes some jobs easy  tho,im sure some of my customers dornt like it wfp but dornt say anything.

[Frankybadboy]

It doesn't actually matter what the customers think as long as they pay you. Sometimes we think far too deeply about things like this and get all anal about it.
MacDonalds sell rubbish food but its good enough to bring people through the door. Thats all they need, anything beyond that is wasted effort. Its not a failing on their part its a carefully worked out business strategy.

I suspect most of us do a far better job than we actually need to. Its nice to do a good job and take pride in your work. I couldn't do it any other way so I am a fine one to talk. There are some pretty naf window cleaners around but they probably make a better living than you do as they only spend half the time you do on a house. Who's the mug?

If you were to employ a smart ass business guru to advise you he would probably say something like this. Cut your standards, just do more and quicker. Accept you will lose a few but replace them with others that are not so fussy.

To an extent that is what you do when you go WFP. The thing is you have to RECOGNISE thats what you are doing and understand WHY you are doing it and what the long term game plan is. MONEY

i suppose the real old boys who were sammy the shammy
thought the same when these new fangled squeegees came
out,but things change jobs evolve and so does equipment.

i can trad but choose not to but lets not carried away here
the boys who cant,it wouldnt take them long to learn and
get to a reasonable speed its hardly plumbing or being a
electrician.

skill wise whatever method you use lets be honest
difficult it isnt.

thats why i do it, little effort small investment and good return

I think all trad guys should be lined up in front of their families and shot. That would stop these pointless debates and prevent them falling off their ladders.

There's only one way to decide this...................FIGHT!!

[Blue Frog Systems]

I like to wfp, then get the ladders out and trad

[Ronnie Bryce]

Using a squeegee is not a skill in any sense, it's just a knack. Hell I can do it with my feet if my hand's get cold enough and the window is not to high!!

No you wouldn't - Ronnie B (sorry it's a small b now he's deleted himself and come back again) wears a kilt and I've seen better legs hanging out of a nest!
