Hi bob, I would stay every 4 wks as this will give you an extra pay day throughout the year, not knocking the clx but I've just upgraded from a clx to a slx and the difference is unbelievable , aqua dapter brill bit of kit

Wouldn't change from 4 weekly to monthly,you would have to work sat and sunday if you were keeping to the correct date.

I do a 4wkly cycle and I do sometimes think I'm taking the p*ss when I clean twice in month but then again I do have 4 wks hols a year so ain't goona  change - I've got a clx and the clamps are great - must of had one of the better ones coz I've never had to do anything to it - I'm in the process of getting an Emerson fitted for the tank so ill let you know-  December was bad (but it was unusual) but after that , jan, feb etc.. It was back to normal - cold, but it didn't stop me - still earned well, so don't think I can justify a big wedge on a hot wash at the moment  :)

i,ve also changed over from the clx to the slx and i definetely feel less tired at the end of the day , the clx is a good pole but if you can afford to pay a bit more do it regards alan

Just gone from 4 weekly to monthly as couple of customers remarked when both cleans fell within the same month but on the upside have started pricing a lot better, I have room to manoeuvre with dates and work 6 days except Sunday's so if next clean falls on this day I simply clean on the sat or Monday,I don't keep my schedule full on cos I like getting the bespoke jobs ie fascia and gutters just to mix it up a bit and I do canvass for gutters as I find very fast money

A web site can help your business, You do need to consider how you get people to view it though. Getting an web site with all the bells and whistles is easy these days. But all the effort is wasted if no one visits.
