I started window cleaning in 1995 working off ladders. In 2007 i purchased a 3 year old transit connect and had a concept 20 hot
wa ter system installed this system uses a 240 volt supply via an inverter and lpg. I have been using this system for nearly 19 years.
I just wondered if anybody on here has the same system. The company was called Clear View and was based in South Wales. Now 73 and only working part time mainly for management companies,time goes too quick

I feel like the years are slipping through my hands. I've been actively checking how long I've been cleaning my jobs this week. Just think, over a 10 year period doing an 8 weekly job you've probably only visited that property a total of 50 times. And you're 10 years older. How scary is that 🥴

This forum never ceases to amaze with the idiotic comments.

Of all the people who could be considered takers… mark munro LOL! The guy literally got off his backside and using his own time, money effort and massive risk created an entire exhibition from nothing which filled a niche perfectly.

And then, continued to do it every year, growing it, organising it, planning it etc. for the massive benefit of the window cleaning industry.

Sorry Mark, it’s just not enough. You must also be on here every day helping everyone with what pole hose to buy and brush heads. You just can’t make this stuff up!

I go to this show every year, and always find something highly useful and interesting, not to mention catch up on what’s happening. And it’s also the ONLY show you can bring kids too, so we can go without missing out on time with my daughter, and she is at an age where she finds it all fascinating and exciting.

Mark, I feel like I need to apologise in behalf of the morons on here. But please be assured there are many, many of us who are not morons and genuinely appreciate the work and effort that you have put in over the years and continue to do.

Keep up the good work, and please ignore the absolute cakes who think you should be dispensing daily advice on here instead of organising the most useful show in the industry.

I stand by what I have said he adds nothing to this forum , he comes on here once a year to get free advertising for himself  , never offers advice just promoting himself, and his channel. I expect he makes a decent living from what he does and that’s fine and what we all need to do to run a successful business, he isn’t doing it to help us though he’s doing it to pay his bills and it’s the fact that he doesn’t do anything for free to use an expression that winds me up . Please don’t apologise for what I have said I stand by every word and if you and others don’t like that then that fine I don’t  care but many feel the same way but don’t bother to post it on here as they say it’s a toxic environment. He does  exactly the  same on other forums .

I'm sat here inputting the work I've done today. On the screen it tells me when I first started cleaning the windows at each job. I've been gobsmacked by the amount of years I've been cleaning some of them. I genuinely thought I'd been cleaning some of them for 5 years or so, but they're like 10 years plus.

It's scary. Where has the time gone?

A few of mine are still customers I canvassed in Jan 1993! Lots of mine are 20+ years

I was still at primary school in Jan 93

How old were you when you started Daz?
