Always tell the truth, don't have to remember what you said.
-
had someone come up to me today, and ask if i was using that special water that leaves a coating to stop them getting dirty ;D
she had been told that by another window cleaner.

It is more environmentally friendly tho, ladders are illegal and you wont get insurance if your using them. 12 months? I tell them the windows do come good but probably not in their lifetime.

1. No it does not take 12 months but can talk up to 3 cleans
2 . NO ladders are not illegal but under the Working at Height Regulations April of 2005// The use of ladders can be dangerous and it is wise to avoid using them on site if it is at all possible.
3 yes they can get insurance but because of the Working at Height Regulations April of 2005 which is Law, Insurance may not pay out if the client has not taken steps to insure a safer alternative making the claim null and void
4. Yes this is true as it is water and has no detergeants

A couple of window cleaners round my way have said there insurance premium has risen due to them using ladders.

I wonder if it really more environmentally friendly apart from the fact it wastes a whole lot of water just to produce enough to clean a house there are other factors as well such as
1. Pump using electricity
2. Booster pump if used also using electricity
3. Disposal of used resin
4. Heavier vehicle uses more fuel
And I am sure there must be more so I would personally doubt it is more environmentally friendly.

ladders banned wake-up lad >:(

My insurance company AXA pulled the plug on my personal accident cover years ago. You used to be able to by units at £25 a unit, each unit you bought would give you £50 a week for up to a year in the event of an accident, so if you bought 4 units for £100, they would pay £200 a week for up to a year, they paid nothing for the first two weeks off though.
Do any insurance companies still cover window cleaners working off ladders for personal injury?
It would be interesting to hear of any.
-
dai, think they would take your money then try and get out of paying
-
Never lie, honesty is always the best policy.
Anyway, I`m off to finish my game of Twister with Girls Aloud ;).

Add to that-
wfp rots window sills
leaves windows sterile
Puts holes in your T-shirts (although it's used in steam irons! ;D)
Oh, & when wfp, customers will run at you in the street & beg that you do their windows + all their friend & neighbours!
Don't worry if you lose a customer as you'll pick up 10 more just around the corner, all at double the price of the one just lost! ;D
It's a hoot
Happy days ;D :D ;D

SO we back to the old Trad verses WFp again so boring.I am half asleep again.Marketing is a just a twist of the truth anyway.

no it isn't. what about all that resin and then carrying 500l of water and carbon fibre, hose that needs to be manufactured, membranes etc. etc. surely that adds up to more than a bit of wu liquid
Yes it does add up, A lot of people think that there are cleaning solutions in the water that is going to get in to the gardens and water cycle and as you know its just pure water this is what is meant by environmently friendly there are no chemicles left on the window
as for the odd bottle of wu liquid remember that they sell that in all major supermarkets and people go through that more than the odd reel and carbon fibre//// When a window cleaner washes his cloths in the washing machine the cleaning solutions go down the drain and have to have the water clean again/// Even if a WFP sends waste water down the drain it has no detergeants
1. No it does not take 12 months but can talk up to 3 cleans

not if you do it right
:P
Please dont argue with me as I know that I have met my match and it has taken all night to give you a response I have not been to sleep yet ;D

Well, my water is aggressive and it's got a brain - it wants to return to its natural state so eats all the dirt and grime. If it ever got out of my tank I'm sure it could easily eat my van floor. It's burnt my eyes several times and my clothes - my god I look like Robinson Crusoe when I'm at work. ::) I drank some once and it stripped all the nutrients out of my body. Truly dangerous stuff.

Adders,
You`ve been up all night and that`s the best you can come up with? ;D

So the manufacturing of fairy does'nt use resources.
Nor does getting rid of the plastic bottle
or the printing of the label
the transport to carry it to the shops
the cars used to transport it home from the shops
blah blah blah
Fairy liquid is the biggest con ever. Washing dishes with it hah the more you use the more you use
Best results for washing dishes, the reason for the finish manufacturers put on the dishes, is to wash with warm water only....no soap

Keep that tank lid firmly closed Young Davith. I spilled a drop once, it picked a shovel up & smacked me round the back of the head with it!!!!!
Be warned! :o

Isn't this only if you have an Ionics system? I'm saving up for one and I'm certain the customers will be throwing themselves under my van to get me to stop and quote them.
