Martin,

On the first cleans why not use the customers outside tap (where possible) on the first pass then go back around with pure.

or better still try and do a upvc clean as an extra when cleaning the windows if there really bad and charge extra then they wont be as bad to do first time round! ;)

just a thought

i did one the other day.
£40 frames
£8 windows.

it took me an hour to do both= £48 happy days! ;D ;D

Martin,

did think about that and think it wouldnt work on some houses due to house layout and so on.

was hoping that i wouldnt need to do that but i can see what your saying tho mate.

ill be getting a 400 lt tank in my connect van when i get it.somehow i dont think 200lt will be enough mate.not too bad if youve got a DI ONLY system u can then fill up on the job when needed or nip home.

ill be wfp tops and trad bottoms for a while but i think its inevitable that ill use it on nearly everything as its usually quicker after a few months.i will also get a trigger for my pole to save water in between windows so im hoping 400 lt will be enough most days.it would be a pain having to nip home to refill for say an hours work! ::) ::)
