I've just bought and took over a new window cleaning round from a very good friend who has cleaned this round for the last 20 years. He cleaned it every 3 weeks by traditional methods.
I am totally WFP now and have been for 3 years.
Do I clean the new round by trad methods for a couple of months until they get used to me or just fire straight in there with WFP and hopefully not lose any?
-
start as you mean to go on. they will need to have the new method explained first as people won't understand how your cleaning them and you will lose a lot otherwise
-
also dont forget to be sincere and assure them that your work is guareenteed on the rare occasion anythinhappens they need to feel they can tell you about a problem if they are not sure about you custy will bin you to avoi complaing with a silly excuse......... human nature

If Your wfp and you've bought a Tradditional round im sorry to say this you could be heading for troubled times. If you intend to pole them then i think your going to have to go straight in as you mean to go on and see what happens. Good luck
-
i have bought 2 trad rounds and the amount i lost i could count on one hand! would be interesting to know if anyone else has had any issues with work they've bought
-
Just do a small advice letter post it through explaining the safety benefits, advanced cleaning benefits and also that fact your are no longer able to peer into their bedrooms.. always a winner ;)

This is a copy of the letter we send to all our houses that are converted to WFP
Dear Valued Customer,
Due to recently introduced Health & Safety legislation (European Work at Height Regulations 2005) regarding the use of ladders for cleaning and access, we are now starting to use a PURE WATER POLE CLEANING SYSTEM to clean some, if not all of your windows.
How does it work?
The Pure Water System incorporates a 5 stage water purification process that removes all impurities from the water including particulates, chlorines and carbons, this Pure Water is then stored in a large tanked fitted to the vehicle. When required, the water is pumped from the tank through pipe-work to a jetted brush head on the end of a pole. The windows, frames and sills are then jetted, washed and brushed to remove all dirt. The final stage of the process is where the brush is lifted away from the window, the window is spray rinsed with Pure Water and left to dry naturally.
The Advantages
Safety, no ladders to fall off!
Privacy
Environmentally friendly, no detergents are required
Frames can be cleaned along with the glass
Previously inaccessible windows can now be cleaned safely
We can now also clean conservatory roofs, fascias, etc
Windows can be cleaned in almost all weather conditions
Because there is no detergent residue, windows stay cleaner longer
The changes you will notice
The windows will be left wet, but they will dry streak and smear free
For the first one or two times you may see small white spots on your windows, this is detergent residue from previous cleans
I appreciate that this is a big change, but we have been using this system on all our commercial cleaning and some domestic cleaning for several years now and the feedback and results have been excellent.
We guarantee a quality service every time. If you have any concerns please feel free to call me on 01665 713448 or catch us whilst we are cleaning.

maybe do tops wfp, bottoms trad, but you probably are just putting off the change over really, just do it and be really sincere with custys and promise to do them mint, and cal back on any probs, but be firm that you only do wfp - for your safety etc, and i dont think you will lose too many ....
