Employees of commercial firms say hiring or purchasing a small
Trolley / brush / pole and doing their own ?

Results) I know.

i would say people are getting lazier if anything.  cant be bothered to clean their con roofs, their windows their fascias gutters etc.  Sure maybe if wfp gets really cheap then some householders would do it but most couldnt be bothered, and most staff etc for commercials would have to go through training etc and health and safety issues

I would say so, the number of "ordinary" houses I go to now where they have cleaners and gardeners is really quite suprising.

i doubt it could be cost effective renting or even buy equipment unless the property is very very big, ive heard of a college doing it in my town but its so big it will be like painting the forth bridge

the reason mostly that domestic window cleaners have a job is becaue people are lay and dont want to do it, alot of the same for commercial aswell, they dont want to do it.

till this changes we are all safe

i disagree  ;D i think the bigest reason is people dont want to climb ladders (do to a fear of heights) and or fork out for wfp.

then laziness, not enough time, etc  ;D
