I have another one coming this week and will swap over at the weekend. They are great reels and I think they will last a long time. That's me got everything I want now and hopefully the dough will flow in so I can focus on a new van.

Why are you swapping it over when the one you have already is relatively new?

Personally I think wfp window cleaning has matured. Most things have been invented and tweaked for the regular,average window cleaner. It would be interesting if there was a way of installing a decent hot water system in an electric van as that is the next step forward we need going into the 2030s IMO.

Window cleaning is at saturation point where I work these days. So many new companies starting up and lots are actually franchise businesses. Real business minded people are getting into it. I even see billboards advertising window cleaning!

Is it any wonder ‘real business minded people are getting into it’ when window cleaners talk openly on  forums and Facebook about record days and trousering a ton an hour!

I openly admit that I use this forum to promote my show — but that’s not the only reason I’m here. The show is also about helping other window cleaners see what products are available, discover new ideas, and get some great deals from top suppliers.

Yes, I make money from the show. But it also takes a huge amount of time, effort, and financial risk to organise and run it. In the first few years, I was tens of thousands of pounds down getting it off the ground — and I didn’t hear any complaints then.

I also make videos to promote my ideas and products. If I don’t promote them, who will? If people like what they see, they choose to buy — that’s their decision. Thankfully, many suppliers now stock my products, which shows there’s demand.

I’ve been in this industry for over 40 years. I’ve built up experience and developed ideas that I believe help others. Just like the show, I advertise them.

And let’s be honest — don’t we all advertise our businesses in one way or another?

Totally get what you are saying and don’t have any issues with it , apart from you only pop up to advertise these events and then disappear until the next year , I know this irritates some they feel you are only interested in advertising yourself and trying to profit from using the forum for your own ends rather than helping Joe bloggs with his questions.
The shows are useful for new starters who want to see a lot of stuff under one roof , I came to one of them many years ago in Dorset  didn’t need anything but just came for a look back then it was very small only a few suppliers . Once you are well established I don’t feel the need to travel great distances to do that now , I feel the boom in WFP market has peeked several years ago yes new product s are still coming out but nothing that’s a game changer .

Many window  cleaners now see other cleaners using kit and will go over and ask questions about it to learn we get it a lot with our softwash set up .

Now if you were still using ladders,soap and a squeegee then window cleaning in the rain is just not great really. Glass gets dirty very quickly on a newly squeegeed window if rain hits it but not when using pure water. That's the beauty of WFP!

It's changed the game...
