Title: Useful URL's  (Websites)
Post by: Neil on March 01, 2004, 09:14:34 pm
I thought it might be useful to put a few URL’s together.
As a fairly new starter to this trade I found a lot of help and information came from this and other forums in the form of links to websites useful to window cleaners.
However most of the links are spread over numerous sites and threads which then get sidetracked so I thought it would be more helpful to any new starters to put them all in one place.

Mostly been recommended by other window cleaners - I haven't needed them so far, but I know where to go if I do.

This has been going the rounds for a while, 7 or 8 years I think, bits of it are quite handy but I'd invest in an extension pole rather than a broom handle for the higher stuff ;)

Comes well recommended by some other window cleaners from Eucleaningandrelated, I've taken on some of it, but it's rather Gung-Ho for me.
