Title: How often do you clean your van?
Post by: Klean07 on February 03, 2017, 10:12:45 am
I try and clean outside of mine as it gets dirty from a perception point of view. However cleaning the cab out is another story!

I try n keep back of my van tidy so it doesnt need cleaning regular or anything. Yep agree on the cab section, when i cant see my seats anymore than its time to tidy  ;D

Outside of van, i pick my kids up from school. They finish at half 3 but to get parked up you have to be there at 3. So if vans dirty, i whip out the brush n give it a once over.
Just waiting for other parents to ask so i can charge em  to clean their cars  ;D

When I first got it it was every week. Now I do the outside with the wfp every so often but only half arsed. Inside maybe once a month when you can't see the floor or seats for empty crisp packets and mouldy sarnies

Usually once a week but as my van is white and really shows the dirt I have sometimes done it mid week between jobs - usually just from the "waist" down - i.e. bonnet and door mirrors and lower.

I wipe mine down with a damp microfibre whenever it starts to look grubby so about once a week. I do the cab and load area at the same time.

A cleaner that  walks his round,  pushes a cart, uses a bike, drives an old car or van don't mean they are less a window cleaner now does it.  ::)roll

It doesnt, but appearances are judged and i suppose it depends which areas residentially you wish to work in. In well off areas i imagine appearances are judged a while lot more.  Unless you wish them to take pitty on the poor begger of a window cleaner  ;D

It don't matter how posh the gaff is either as at then end of the day they just want their windows cleaned like everyone else.
I think most of the snobbery comes from window cleaners themselves not custards as it seems quite a few  think they are better than everyone else.  ;D

true but putting over a clean professional image is good for business esp in affluent areas ive found.the van is "the shop window".IMO your more likely to get the larger domestic properties/better paying jobs if you look smart and professional.

I clean the back of the van roughly every 2 weeks, or every week if i get some spare time.  Outside of van, i pay the local romanian car wash £7 and they do a proper good job once a month.  Inside of the cab, i tidy once a week, and give a proper thorough clean/polish once a month usually on a sunday afternoon when im bored out of my mind :P

Or still lose out to a window cleaner that can actually do a good job that has been recommended by others wearing a hoodie, trakie bottoms and drives an old motor  ;D
