First day out using WFP
« on: April 27, 2012, 04:57:46 pm »
Went better than expected.
12 Houses cleaned. 6 of which were home, so before starting, I explained that im gonna be using a wfp. All 6 were happy and didnt really question it.

Just need to upgrade pretty much every piece of equipment for it, and ill be sorted.

Tank is too small.
No varistream
Back of van not waterproof
Garden hosepipe and reel instead of microbore
heavy pole
rubbish brush head

But, at the end of the day, its a start. All in good time ;D

It will get you going until you build your confidence up - if you trashed an slx you would be crying for days
We use the clx and its a great pole for my small team and not too much of a headache if its damaged in any way.I wouldnt feel the same if they had slx , I would personally issue them with their cyanide pill!!

Yes.
I could only clean the fronts of 2 houses as the gates were locked, so went back in the afternoon to clean the backs once custys was home, and I checked the windows, and they were spot on. No probems at all.

I told every customer today, that if they dont dry perfect then call me and ill re do them. So far, no phone calls  ;D

The SLX is much better than the CLX.

I understand why Gardiners produce & sell the CLX, I don't understand why people use them when for just a few quid more you can have so much an easier life!! ;)
