WFP Only window cleaners?
« on: August 04, 2012, 04:01:46 pm »
For those of you that have never cleaned a window traditionaly in your life, im curious to know your response when a customer asks you to clean their inside windows?

Also, we have recently made the change to WFP, but we still clean loads of windows/houses trad where its simply quicker and easyier to do so. I cant imagine not having my squeegee in the van.

Front doors are another one. I cleaned the front door of a customers house a while back with wfp, the letterbox was one where the flap pushes inwards, and the water leaked in the letterbox and got her post soaking wet.

I now clean all front doors trad regardless

when a thread like this came along some months ago i think the main response from those who had never
done trad was 'i just wouldn't do an internal clean'

I'm obviously not a real window cleaner, yet I seem to go out and earn a packet each day cleaning people's windows to their complete satisfaction.  I wonder where I'm going wrong?

I was trad for 6 months when I first started out before going WFP.

Got up to a decent standard but if I do traf on insides now all gimpy handed and male loads of mistakes.

Its a skill u have to master than keep doing.

You obviously haven't master WFP if you find "loads" of windows easier trad. Keep at it, it will come.
