A couple a year Joe and I do ask but don't really push it apart from wriiten avertisements ie cards and YP, it doesn't cut much until you start to preach it but I also preach the fact I am very very good so something has to give.

Perhaps what Spencer and Chris have shown, is that target marketing works !!!!!!!!!!!!

[John Kelly]

The word "dry" certainly works.

[robert meldrum]

Especially if there's a "quick" in front of it

[derek west]

works even better for the ladies if theres "white wine" after it.

What does anyone achieve from wearing thy boxers for a whole week without changing them?

I agree with the argument that soon the EU will ensure most companies produces eco-friendly cleaning products and soon all government sites will have to implement green cleaning.

Yeah,  I also agree that people are more concerned with the impact thus chemicals might have on thy children and pets than how many trees it thus saves.

However I do think using chip oil to power thy vans is a great idea, the only problem is we would need to eat more chips which kind of defeat the object, so, we could buy more gas off Russia, well, the Checs might not want us to get it so then all the vans would have to park up. I think chip oil is the key, but who can we feed the chips to? The French? The Americans? The Dutch? The Swedes? or maybe we could swap chips for Swedes, hmmm (this was my idea first hands off). Got it! The Germans. Alo Alo could use it to feed the ResisTaunce. Would it be any good to animals or would they thus  become over weight coach potatoes?

DAMN Houston we have a problem, we can't find a resolution.  So we will use what works, the things we have been using for some time now, so what was the problem again?

Oh, Steam, lets use steam engines, the Yorkshire miners would be grateful, oh, Maggie messed that up. What about them hot rocks down south that they think will be able to make us electricity - have they decided whom should get rich from this yet? They best soon so thus poor confused CCs can get on with thy daily business.

I use DFC105 to rinse. But to pre-spray I use any aggressive animal i can get my hands on, Formula 90, today i used Alltec's Ultimate Master, tomorrow I might decide on Prochem's Crystal Green but William of Pure Hydro Cleaning said dump Crystal Green and use Prochem Double Clean so I will and he said if that aint doing the trick add some Prochem Power Burst - Damn this guy is dangerous.

So which products should you use? Try Prochem, Chemspec and Alltec Green Products if those don't work come back to the forum and I am sure somebody will be able to help you with more info. Just remember I love green simply because I want to always use green, why because the cleaning chemical manufacturer says so. Oh and it's save for the KIDS, especially when consumed at bedtime.

OK seriously, I think it's a sensible way forward and I do sell the thing and my customers think it's great as a rinse so I always rinse with a green chemical -, well, only since I discovered DFC105. They wont pay me the premium to use the green think for the entire process, and, yes I charge more for totally green. That's soon to change so no swearing please.

Gold Finch, dont take this the wrong way but I honestly believe that 0845 number will be a barrier to some customers calling you.

If I'm looking for a trades men I would move on to the next advert that has 0800 or landline.

There are various reasons why some of us offer eco cleaning. My own personal reasons have been well discussed here so I wont go into them again. As mentioned above by Roger (?) I don't feel that global warming is an issue for my business to be involved with. Global warming was happening before the industrial revolution began less than 300 years ago.

You are unlikely to have Jo and Josephine Bloggs ask for green cleaning, but you are in business to SELL them your service. If you have a USP, then use it/them. This can assist you to achieve a premium price for your service and, if someone is in a situation to make a choice between two similar quotes, the one offering more "bangs for their bucks" has a better chance of winning.

I only put 1 or 2 at most containers into recycling at a time. I rinse and flatten them first. No problem YET.  They've even taken unflattened 25 litre containers! I can also take them to the local tip.  Mind you, I do pay my council taxes on time

Safe and happy Eco Cleaning

What's the point of the little green boxes, they are going to chuck it landfill when nobody's looking, because it all comes down to £££.

lmfao@ derek!!

Hi

Mike is correct recycling is and has always been complete and utter nonsense.

The UK target was 25%, this means that 75% is still dumped in landfill, now the scrap market has collapsed this is probably a lot higher, now the paper and wood is kept in warehouses, problem with this is that if it is not recycled within 2 months, it's useless.

Part of my biz is eco friendly as the sponges are biodegradable and my use of water is minimal. For me not many people ask and just want the job done, although if they are there I will tell them about the system.

If it helps your biz then use it to earn some coin, if not then don't worry about it, although local authority are becoming keener on eco products and services, that way they can tick some boxes.

Regards

Martin
