because I vastly under estimated what it takes to clean windows !

Its not as easy as it looks !!! 

I mistakenly assumed it was.

Did my first 3 cleans today.

Started 10.30 and finished @ 4.30 ... knackered !!

Am I thinking of packing in .... not a chance I loved it ..

Im aching ... ive used muscles I never knew I had.

I know I will get faster as all the minging frames now mint.

oh and the best part of today ..... my very first customer has asked me to give her mum a quote on another part of the same estate ... and they all paid today as well.

[Ian101]

oh and it hissed down all day too  

[Jeff Brimble]

Just wait intil you go round next time  
if you had a bit of experience you may not have needed to do them 3 times  
Will take you between 6 months and 2 years to build a proper round. Good luck ! but its frotunately nowt to do with luck.

[Roy Harding]

It gets better

I started with my brother in law we worked from 9:00am till 4:00pm and we had earnt £7.50 each. And thought we had been kicked by Millwall fans

And now 27yrs later still loving it.

[Ste M]

Well done Ian, are you trad or wfp?

[prestige cleaners]

well done keep it up!

[Clive McDonald]

I got some jobs, spent £300 on trad kit, and shared my first days money with someone who knew how to do it.

We worked quite hard for about three hours and got £23 each.


Two months later i was flying and often earned £70 a day.I often thought of giving up and i still think it's a tough way to earn a living.

I started up this time last year and I thought exactly the same thing-nice easy work.My first customer was a ten pounder and I was pretty much all morning do it!I remember thinking that maybe I'd done a wrong move but I'm delighted I stuck with it and I'm sure you will be a year down the line looking back.Pretty much every time you do a customers house you will find a way to improve your speed and be more efficient.

[paul rulton]

when i done my 1st day, i worked me bits off 4 £67.50 
big money 4 me back then  i felt loaded 

[sparklebright]

I remember the first house I did 7 years ago, took about an hour and a half, all for £10 I think it was, but I had friends who are windys so I knew it would improve. I went WFP a few months later.

By the time I sold that work on 2 years later I was doing that house in 10-15 mins with the wfp.
Though when I clean using trad I still get that smell from the fairy liquid and it makes me feel all nostalgic. Makes me remember going home after a long day and pulling all the scrunched up cash out of my pocket onto the table and thinking 'I wish I had done this years ago' 

Keep on, it gets easier

[Ian101]

Well done Ian, are you trad or wfp?

Traditional ... may go WFP later but enjoy using the sqeege ... still getting the hang though

[Ian101]

Thanks Guys .... all the encouragement does help ... a lot

[Ste M]

Well done Ian, are you trad or wfp?

Traditional ... may go WFP later but enjoy using the sqeege ... still getting the hang though

if you ever do go wfp contact richywilts on here, he is over your way and he may give you some pointers. trad is a very important thing to master though and is a great tool to have.

trad is an art

wfp is a skill

[dazmond]

trads easy after 16 years.mostly 4 an hour on compact stuff!!

took me a few months to build up my speed and about 5 years to do a pro job  at speed!!

really gettin the hang of it now! wfp in a few months!! : :
