these are hard to price up when your inexperienced but once you know roughly how long theyll take you they are good little earners.

i price them up and get £40-£60 an hour on these types of jobs.

i use either a 5L pressure sprayer(usually this gets used for conny roof jobs),a small bottle sprayer(spray on brush or directly on the surface being cleaned)or a backpack.i use virosol.

spray on.leave for a few mins and scrub and rinse until clean!

i also have some scourers and cif cream cleaner that i occasionally use on stubborn ground floor UPVC/frames etc and some b and q sticky stuff remover.

add on jobs are  harder work than your average maintenance window cleaning so charge higher to make it worth your while.

i also have 20m of extension hose and plug into customers outside taps occasionally if its a fairly big UPVC clean and i want to save my pure in the tank.
price higher/work harder!

Like Dazzling said try and use customers water and not your pure, change as much as you can as it's bloody hard work and not good for your neck or shoulders!  :'(

Buy some spare hose connect to customers outside tap.
