Not being funny but im you want to start window cleaning trad/wfp you have to do your home work ,read up on the subject  watch videos .If you are going to start a buisness you have got to now whats involved that means what equipment to buy ,if you dont know that how the dam you gonna use it .
Sorry to be blunt but theres people out there jumping in the deep end ,dont know what there doing and giving wfp a bad name .
