ive been wfp for two months now, so just done the second cleans and i havent had a single problem!

everyones happy and a good 75% say its better.

the gleam on the glass when its dry is great!

and it def stays cleaner for longer.

i left my windows for 6 months to test it on dirty glass and they came up perfect!

you must be doing something wrong

I don't want to annoy anybody with this...But a mate of mine asked me the other day would i want to set up a window cleaning round with him. He had a big round 4 years ago and due to personal reasons had to sell it....He has been out leafleting, and quite a few people have said they are interested if its tradional and not wfp...Im not a window cleaner so dont shoot me...Why do you think some people dont like it, is due too the speed you guys can do a good job and they dont think they are getting value for money, or do you think some guys just need to take a bit more time.

i bleve its the element of personal touch thats underestimated in this game

 for example - if you went to get your shoes cleaned ,who would u prefer,?   1. the guy with the fancy electric buffer  2. the guy on his hands and knees with a little box of rags

    What`s the relevance?
    Are you saying that wfp users don`t have the personal touch?

And have to say wfp is still crap even after three years of cleaning! I've always said it's poor and nothing has convinced me otherwise.
OH NO!!!  I have been telling my customers it can take upto 3 cleans to get it right, should I have said 3 YEARS?  ;D

i reckon i would have a job convincing my lot of customers if i was w.f.p . its just that a man on a ladder is seen as ordinary . whereas something new,"new technology" "THE MACHINE AGE " ARRIVING at their door might well get the hackles up .

I think people THINK too much!  :)
When I started with wfp (6 years ago) no one in my area had heard of it, not even any of the other cleaners, however from 500 customers I lost 2.
Sure it took a bit of work convincing them, but every customer got a leaflet explaing what I was doing and I was careful to use the equipment correctly.
After a few months the other cleaners were falling over themselves to be my best mate to learn how it worked. (even one who had threatened me in the past)
It would be so easy to change over now, almost everyone has seen it and are just waiting for the change to happen.
If you have convinced YOURSELF its not a good idea you will never pass it off to your customers.
From a business point of view, wfp is the answer. You can make more money for the same amount of work, or the same money for less work.
Its a NO BRAINER!

surely if you trad the odd downstairs windows most domestic custys will be ok with wfp cleaning.

as to jonnyald talking about "the personal touch" when its comes to window cleaning by hand.maybe he,s right to a certain extent but its not good for business if it takes you longer to clean,less safe and harder work!!

if you look at it as adding wfp than replacing trad and clean previous inaccessible windows(above conny roofs/skylights etc) and bang on about frames cleaned as standard im sure most custys will be fine.

im dreaming of knocking those big awkward country houses and putting a good price in on a 2 monthly basis! ;D ;D
price higher/work harder!
